Show Notes
UConn womens basketball, with a perfect 31-0 record, heads into the 2026 postseason, marking their first undefeated regular season since 2018. Coach Geno Auriemma acknowledges the void left by star guard Paige Bueckers, who led the team to a national title and was drafted first in the WNBA. Bueckers departure has left a significant impact, with Auriemma noting moments where her skills could have altered outcomes. Despite her absence, the Huskies boast a deep rotation, with nine players seeing steady minutes and six averaging at least seven points. They lead the nation in scoring defense, offense, shooting percentages, and assists, thanks to standouts like Sarah Strong and Azzi Fudd. Bueckers herself praises the teams versatility and chemistry, making for an exciting season as they chase another championship.
