There have certainly been better wins for UConn women’s basketball head coach Geno Auriemma in his 33 years, but the Huskies’ 88-60 victory over the Oklahoma Sooners at Mohegan Sun Arena Tuesday evening gave the legend his 1,000th career win. Only three other coaches in women’s college basketball history have accomplished this feat. His top assistant coach, Chris Dailey, has been there for all 1,000 wins.
Offensively, the Huskies were led by Azura Stevens, who finished with 20 points on 8-of-10 shooting. Napheesa Collier and Katie Lou Samuelson both finished with 19 points apiece while Gabby Williams snagged a game-high 10 rebounds.
