With a UConn women’s basketball home win over Fairleigh Dickinson on Wednesday night, Geno Auriemma became the NCAA’s all-time winningest basketball coach.
It’s a remarkable achievement for the basketball coaching great who now has a startling 1,217 wins on his record that eclipses any other NCAA basketball coach.
After the game, UConn honored its “goat” by bringing out an actual goat to commemorate such a special moment for Auriemma and the school.
Auriemma seemed delighted to see the goat on his historic night, as this is a pretty cool gesture from UConn to enshrine its “goat” after so many years of excellence.
As for the actual goat, we hope he gots lots of love and some lettuce to eat.
A CAREER BUILT FOR REPLAYS
