UConn Women Join Men As National Champions

NASHVILLE — Shortly after defeating Tennessee for its first national championship in 1995, Chris Dailey saw Tennessee assistant Mickie DeMoss at an AAU tournament. They had an enlightening chat.

"She was very gracious," said Dailey, UConn's associate head coach. "And then she said, 'We need to change the way we play to beat you.'

"I remember calling Geno [Auriemma] saying, 'Oh my God, Tennessee is going to change the way they play because of us! Can you believe it?' It was disbelief and awe that little old Connecticut would have that kind of impact on Tennessee."

Imagine that.

He now has 9 championships surpassing the great Tennessee coach Pat Summit. He not only now has more championships, he is also winning his championships in a much more difficult era. Competition in women's basketball today is top notch. UCONN is a dynasty. Last night UCONN put on a beautiful clinic on how to play the game of Basketball.
