When UConn hosts Notre Dame later on today it will be the fifth straight season and eighth time overall that the Huskies are featured in the Jimmy V Women's Classic.
For UConn coach Geno Auriemma, whose father fought the good fight against cancer before dying in 1997 resulting in Geno being actively involved in raising money for cancer research, would love for the Huskies to be asked to play in the next five events as well.
"The thing that has always impressed me is that when this started, the very early stages of the Jimmy V Classic, you aren't quite sure where it is going," Auriemma said.
