The No. 2 UConn women’s basketball team (2-0) faces its first ranked opponent of the season as the Huskies take on No. 14 UNC (3-0) on Friday.
While it is arguably the biggest game of the young season for women’s college basketball and both teams, another important plot point revolves around UConn head coach Geno Auriemma.
Coach Auriemma currently sits at 1,215 career wins just one behind recently retired Stanford head coach Tara VanDerveer (1,216) for most career wins of all time.
