Gigi was hoping to play for the UConn Huskies and would be a freshman this year

After being shut out in back-to-back weeks, the UConn women's basketball team swept the weekly awards from the Big East, the conference announced Monday.

UConn women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma said roster depth is something he has not been able to rely on consistently in recent seasons, which made Saturday’s win against USC especially meaningful for the Huskies.

UConn remained at No. 1 and the top seven teams were unchanged in the Associated Press Top 25 women's college basketball poll released on Monday. The defending national champion Huskies (10-0) received 24 of the 32 first-place votes after routing then-No.

Women’s college basketball doesn’t need help setting the tone—but every so often, the culture takes center stage and elevates the moment even further. On a night already circled on the calendar, the court felt less like a standard matchup and more like a living tribute.

The Red Storm’s Senior Day matchup against the heavyweight Huskies is getting the top-billing venue it deserves.
