There were few changes at the top of the Associated Press poll as UConn, Baylor and Stanford continued to hold down the top three spots. UConn received 39 of the 40 first-place votes once again. This time it is Duke rather than Baylor which picked up the other first-place vote.

My intention was to provide a preview of the profile on Geno Auriemma airing on HBO's Real Sports tomorrow night but for some reason my DVD player chose not to cooperate when I put in the DVD, which was FedExed over today. I can say that the show will air for the first time Tuesday at 10 p.m. on HBO and will be rebroadcast six more times between Wednesday at 3:25 a.m. and Tuesday (Nov. 30) at 7 p.m. Auriemma's wife Kathy and former star guard Sue Bird were interviewed for the piece.

Here's how HBO is promoting the segment on Auriemma

Coach Geno. In 1985, Italian-born Geno Auriemma took the reins as head coach of the University of Connecticut women’s basketball team, which had previously posted just one winning season. Today, UConn is a national powerhouse and breeding ground for future WNBA stars. While sometimes viewed as brash and demanding, Auriemma’s seven NCAA women’s basketball championships are evidence of the accomplishments. Entering a new season marked by the usual high expectations and constant media scrutiny, the 56-year-old coach owned a 78-game winning streak that has continued to grow. Auriemma has an all-time-best .858 winning percentage as head coach and the Huskies are just one title short of the Lady Vols of Tennessee and their legendary head coach Pat Summit. In this REAL SPORTS/Sports Illustrated collaboration, correspondent Frank Deford goes one-on-one with the top women’s head basketball coach in America today.

In a one-on-one with Frank Deford, Auriemma says, “My goal in life is to find some little scar on you, like a little something, and I just want to pick at it till it bleeds a little bit, and then I want to put some salt in there, and rub some vinegar in it, and then have some fun with it.”

Former University of Connecticut standout and current WNBA star Sue Bird added, “It's definitely more of a mental kill. He finds ways to push your buttons. And he will push them until you wanna walk outta the gym.”

The mural of Auriemma and late North Carolina State women's basketball coach Kay Yow which was painted by UConn student Phillip Morgan is now up for bid on e-bay with the proceeds going to Geno's Cancer Team.
