UConn Huskies head coach Geno Auriemma was asked to answer a question within one minute so the broadcast could jump over to the final game of the night, where JuJu Watkins was preparing to lead USC to a potential Sweet 16 berth.

“Oh man. Get off me right now, let’s get to her,” Auriemma said. “I want to watch her play.”
