This past weekend, season ticket holders for the UConn Huskies women’s basketball team were invited to watch the team practice and see what goes on.
After practice was over, UConn women’s basketball All-American Moriah Jefferson demonstrated with the rest of her teammates the clap that they do at the end of practice.
The UConn women’s basketball team will open up the 2015-16 season this Monday night in Columbus, OH against The Ohio State Buckeyes.
They’ll have their home opener on November 28, 2015 at the XL Center against the Kansas St. Wildcats. They won’t make their Gampel Pavilion debut until December 5 when they’ll host the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in a rematch of last year’s National Championship Game.
While it might be like pouring salt into the wounds of the Fighting Irish to celebrate last season’s national championship then, head coach Geno Auriemma didn’t want his charges to be distracted and opted to hold the ring ceremony and banner raising before last Sunday’s exhibition game vs Vanguard.
This allows the Huskies to officially close the book on the 2015 National Championship and concentrate on the task at hand, their fourth straight national championship.
Watch and/or listen below as Auriemma and Moriah Jefferson talk about getting the rings and raising the banner last weekend.

UConn Huskies women’s basketball freshman Katie Lou Samuelson didn’t have the best shooting preseason going 3-for-11 in each game.
Obviously there were some nerves in the first game. And in Sunday’s 80 point win over Vanguard, it could have been a combination of the bigger ball and longer three-point line with the experimental rules in place.
Either way, Samuelson isn’t worried. But even more importantly, head coach Geno Auriemma isn’t concerned either.
He’d actually be worried if Samuelson stopped shooting.

When the UConn women’s basketball team takes the Gampel Pavilion court this afternoon, it may look a little different than we are used to seeing. The lane will be four feet wider going from 12 feet to 16 feet. Plus the three-point arc will be 22 feet one inch instead of the normal 20 feet […]
UConn women’s basketball head coach Geno Auriemma along with All-Americans Breanna Stewart and Moriah Jefferson talk about the challenges of winning four championships in a row.
UConn Huskies women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma was at ESPN on Tuesday and stopped by the First Take Set to talk with UConn alum and host Molly Qerim, Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith.
The nerves didn’t help her shooting as she started the game 0-for-7. Her first three-pointer went down in the third quarter and she would go on to finish with eight points.
Even with the nerves, she never gave up on shooting and continued to work hard throughout the game.
After the game, Samuelson along with her head coach Geno Auriemma talked about her nerves and struggles from the floor.
If you didn’t like UConn Huskies women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma before watching this, you might after. This is just another case of Geno being Geno with even more humor.
