Play every game with competitive greatness, be at your best when your best is needed, enjoy a difficult challenge, and put your socks and shoes on properly...
As an aside, it was really nice to see new football coach Bob Chesney show up to today's event to support the women's basketball team.
I got to speak with him for a few minutes and he's the real deal--as down to earth in person as he comes across in the videos we've all seen on social media.
I hope everyone will take a moment to read this incredible story by Ben Bolch about Coach Close and her relationship with Coach Wooden... It's very touching and really speaks to her beautiful heart and soul, the way she teaches, and why her team is so very special 💙💛💙💛
The Lady Bruins? I warched the selection sunday party last year and they were jumping and screaming when they got the #1 overall seed, they were over the moon with excitement.
If you look at the Wins Above Bubble (WAB) ranking, UConn is only fourth which implies that the other three #1 seeds would also have finished undefeated if they played UConn's schedule. Doesn't say they are better but UConn's SOS was not as high.
Win baby win.
Play every game with competitive greatness, be at your best when your best is needed, enjoy a difficult challenge, and put your socks and shoes on properly...
Love, Coach Wooden 💙💛💙💛
Let's goooo Lady Bruins!!!

That is so awesome! 💙💛💙💛
Coach Chesney and Coach Close are both incredible human beings who truly understand how to lead and teach and build up others and the community.
I have said this before but they both remind me so much of Coach Wooden.
We are lucky to have them! 💙💛
Met him there today too! Totally agree!

Much better reaction this year. Not sure what was going on last year.
What happened last year?
They looked like they were half asleep when their seeding was announced.
The Lady Bruins? I warched the selection sunday party last year and they were jumping and screaming when they got the #1 overall seed, they were over the moon with excitement.
Maybe it was that delayed reaction thing and missed the actual reaction part.
No wonder they went undefeated, UCONN didn't play one ranked team in the Big East.
Yep. And UConn's stats are inflated because of it. I still believe they are a great team but we deserved the #1 overall seed, imho.
