UConn Women Defeat Texas A&M, Join The Men In Final Four
LINCOLN, Neb. – One well-worn adage about sports has always rubbed Geno Auriemma the wrong way.
He believes one does not truly defend a championship. He says championships are unique, won by players defined by distinctive circumstances. Then the cast changes, new chemistry is introduced and off they go again.
So, this business about the Huskies' defending last year's national championship, although technically correct, doesn't really fly with the boss, just like it didn't the first seven times someone tried to tell him so.
Auriemma has said from the start if this team won the program's ninth national championship it would – and should – stand alone.

I'm a football fan myself, but I am getting interested with UConn now in both final 4's.
