How should UConn women’s basketball’s 2022-23 season be remembered?

After UConn women’s basketball claimed the 2023 Big East Tournament championship, Geno Auriemma took a rare moment to look backward at all his team had been through to that point.

“I always thought that if we’re going to have to suffer through all this, there’s got to be something good at the end,” he said. “That’s what I kept saying to the team. With everything that happened that was going bad, I said nobody deserves to be dealt this hand so there must be something at the end.”

Instead, the Huskies went through hell for a second straight year only to be rewarded with a loss in the Sweet Sixteen — their earliest exit since 2005.
