  • Is UConn ahead of schedule after handling Texas? (Ep. 172)

    In its toughest test of the preseason, UConn women's basketball used a strong second half to roll over Texas. So what can we learn from the victory? We get into that – why you should feel good about the Huskies after that performance, taking stock of the offense, whether they're ahead of schedule – and much more on this week's episode.

    Chasing Perfection is presented by the UConn WBB Weekly. Get all your coverage of the Huskies at www.uconnwbbweekly.com.

  • What we learned from UConn's first exhibition (Ep. 171)

    UConn women's basketball's season is (unofficially) underway. On Monday, the Huskies took the court for their first exhibition game, taking down Syracuse at Mohegan Sun Arena. After getting our first real look at this year's team, we break down the top performers – from Jovana Popovic and Olivia Vukosa to the seniors – get into what caught our eye (24 free throw attempts!!!), and preview the upcoming matchup with Texas.

    Chasing Perfection co-hosted by Daniel Connolly and Megan Gauer, and is presented by the UConn WBB Weekly.

On this episode, we try to make sense of what went wrong for UConn down the stretch, not just in Phoenix but across the entire NCAA Tournament. We also look back at the season as a whole and discuss the incident between Geno Auriemma and Dawn Staley.
