Geno Auriemma criticizes the NCAA's decisions regarding the women's basketball tournament format and its impact on teams' practice opportunities.
Geno Auriemma tied Tara VanDerveer for most appearances in the AP women's basketball Top 25 poll when UConn remained No. 1 on Monday. Auriemma has led the Huskies to 654 appearances in the poll during his 41-year Hall of Fame career to match VanDerveer, who retired from Stanford in 2024. UConn has been ranked for the past 619 consecutive weeks, dating to the preseason 1993-94 poll, and once again was a unanimous choice at No. 1 from the 31-member national media panel.
