Message: [QUOTE="eebmg, post: 3541313, member: 7548"] Karlie Samuelson remembers the exact moment when she realized her younger sister, Katie Lou, was better than her at basketball. During a game her senior year (Katie Lou’s sophomore year) of high school at Mater Dei High in Santa Ana, Calif., Karlie was dribbling down the floor with nobody on her on a 2-on-2 fast-break. “I throw it up to Lou with two people on her and she scores," Karlie recalled on the UConn Insider podcast. "And I was like, ‘Yeah, she’s better than me.'” I guess we got the right Samuelson.:D [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-womens-basketball/hc-sp-uconn-women-samuelsons-podcast-20200507-20200507-4pfw4gzc2fhppoknitnj3cfzyu-story.html[/URL] The Samuelson sisters discuss what it’s been like living in quarantine in California (4:00); their earliest memories of playing together (5:40); the decision-making process that led them to their respective college programs (10:00); being recruited by each other’s coaches (11:45); the differences between Geno Auriemma and Tara VanDerveer (13:00); how they helped each other grow as players (14:30) and navigate the life of a student-athlete (16:00); the Cardinal’s streak-ending win over the Huskies in 2014 (17:45); their memories of the 2017 Final Four (19:20); and more.
