“You ever notice when you come to the regionals, they use brand new baskets? These rims have never touched the basketball until now.”

Auriemma also shared his thoughts on the experience the women got in the tournament last year, which obviously fell on deaf ears.
“I don’t give a damn when we play, where we play, who we play, bc we’ve done it and we still end up here. But I’m just telling you the student athletes experience sucks compared to the men’s experience”
