Quality air time

UConn fans should be in their glory in the next couple of days.

First up will be the first episode of "The Climb: UConn's Quest for Perfection" featuring some behind the scenes footage of the Huskies. The 30-minute program is set to air on Friday from 3:30-4 and 11:30-midnight on ESPNU.

It will be the first of a four-episode series about the team airing on ESPNU, enhanced by footage shot by UConn seniors Jacquie Fernandes and Kaili McLaren.

Highlights of the first episode will include a look back at the first ESPN's College GameDay at a women's basketball game which occured on Jan. 16 at Gampel Pavilion as UConn played Notre Dame, a piece of UConn sophomores Caroline Doty and Tiffany Hayes, Tina Charles' induction into the Huskies of Honor and a look at the importance the bench is playing in the Huskies' success.

Additional episodes are tentatively scheduled to air on ESPNU on March 5, March 19 and April 2. Air times for each date is 3:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. on ESPNU.
