FM for the Huskies
Since the UConn football team's bowl game against South Carolina is being carried by the UConn Radio Network beginning Saturday at 1 p.m., something had to give. The result is WTIC-96.5 FM will be broadcasting Saturday's UConn/Seton Hall women's game.
There are a lot of numbers which could be thrown around for tomorrow's Big East opener including the fact that a win would be the 800th in UConn history but one that just blows me away is this nugget (uncovered before last season's game against Seton Hall by Carl Adamec of the Manchester Journal Inquirer): Although UConn's Geno Auriemma and Seton Hall's Phyllis Mangina started their coaching careers in the same season, Auriemma has won more games (707) in the last 25 seasons than Mangina has coached (703). Ponder that for a little bit and it is truly incredible. Of course Auriemma's success in the head to head matchups may have a little to do with it since he is 42-2 against Seton Hall since becoming the Huskies' head coach in 1985.
