Bring on UCONN

It’s been known for quite some time, but it got another inch closer to finalization last week. Talking on a teleconference about adding South Carolina’s Dawn Staley to his coaching staff for the U.S. National Team, UConn coach Geno Auriemma again confirmed that his nine-time national champion will play the upstart Gamecocks in a home-and-home series beginning next season.
“I don’t know that we have a firm date, but I know that we have a tentative date,” Auriemma said. “I think we have it sometime in February. I think it’s a Monday, on ESPN.”

I love how Dawn Staley and Frank Martin try to match their teams against top talent. Playing UCONN will help the team how tremendously in preparing for the SEC schedule and NCAA tournament.

JerseyBird · 05-13-2014, 03:07 PM

Well, there goes UConn's unbeaten streak

Spurrier_Superior_One · 05-13-2014, 06:35 PM

That is going to be one heck of a matchup

Cockhornleghorn · 05-13-2014, 07:42 PM

I can't wait for that matchup. I'd love to go up to Storrs for the game. It would be even better (and easier to get tickets) if it was played in Hartford.

Hey, Dawn, think Geno might be trying to take the measure of a potential successor, so don't be shy, girl. Subtly let him know we're eying him up for his casket.

Just imagine the interplay that will occurr between these two for I suspect they hold each other in the greatest of esteem and rarely do the present and future intersect for such an extended period.

Not only are the 2 teams playing next season, but Dawn will be his assistant with USA Basketball.

Do you mean USA? The thought of Geno at USC has my head spinning.

Every time I see "Geno" I think a cheesesteak sounds pretty good right now.

Yep, USA basketball is what is being referenced here.
I think that Geno wanted Dawn as an assistant so that he could "pick her brain" and learn her tendacies/approach to certain basketball situations. However, "grasshopper" just may turn the table on him!!

Yeah, may the "grasshopper" be a praying mantis.

I don't think so she was also assistant on the 2008 team. Realisticallly, I think Dawn is being groomed as the future face of Women's Basketball with Summitt retiring and Vandeveer, Landers, Hatchell, and Geno(he's headed into his 30th season) approaching retirement. I also think she will be the next Head Coach to take Geno's place over the US team.

Leaving where? She is being groomed to be the next head coach of team USA basketball not UCONN.

Yes, force of habit.

JaxcockFL · 05-25-2014, 04:35 PM

um...yeah....anyhow...looking forward to that series. Should be great.

CockyLifer · 05-25-2014, 06:32 PM

Yeah well let's hope he doesn't pull an MJ and steal her strategies and tendancies as a coach to help the huskies against us that would really suck. Hopefully she knows how Jordan learned all of the weaknesses/tendancies of his teammates on the dream team and Dawn can learn his.
