UConn freshmen getting acquainted to the Geno way

One of the best parts of covering the UConn women's basketball program is getting to see how Geno Auriemma conducts his practices.

It is not the drills he has his team fight through although it is entertaining watch the 4 on 5, 5 on 6 or 5 on 7 drills where even the best starting five in the country has no chance for success but just when he chooses which buttons to push.

Case in point was the practice before the Kansas State game where the return of Saniya Chong and De'Janae Boykin to practice enabled him to throw out five players on the court without any of the starters being out there.
