UConn has won 11 national titles. That’s more than most countries have basketball trophies. They once had a 111-game winning streak—that’s almost three years without a loss.
One player, Diana Taurasi, once said she’d rather lose a tooth than a game. She meant it. She played through a broken nose.
Today’s game might feature a “food fight” moment. No, not literal food. Players sometimes high-five the ref by accident. It’s awkward and amazing.
The Opponent Is Also Fun
Who are they playing today? Doesn’t matter. Every team brings their best against UConn. That means you’ll see crazy buzzer-beaters and desperate heaves.
Last week, an opposing player tried a behind-the-back pass and hit her coach in the face. The crowd roared. The coach gave a thumbs-up. Pure joy.
UConn fans are a special breed. They bring cowbells. Why cowbells? No one knows. It’s chaotic. It’s glorious.
