It’s been a month since UConn women’s basketball reconvened on campus and began its summer workouts. In that time, head coach Geno Auriemma believes his team has made notable progress.
“The improvement from June 1 to today has been significant. You can see it in pretty much every player,” he said. “And it’s only going to get better, provided they stick with it throughout the rest of the summer.”
Auriemma spent much of last preseason praising the competitive drive of last year’s freshmen, something he felt had been lacking in the program. Now that those five players are sophomores, he’s expecting that mentality to spread further across the team.
