Met some friends on the Vega strip today

I’m gutted… I was a huge UConn fan growing up. Getting a hug from him when we met and I shared that with him after I emceed the DePaul game, meant so much to me. It hurts to lose that respect after so many years. It hurts MORE to see him do that to Dawn, whom I respect SO MUCH.

Win with class, lose with class Geno.

Dawn Staley thinks Geno Auriemma was upset because the coaches didn't shake hands pregame. But there is a photo of the two shaking hands 👀 🐸☕️

"You can ask Geno the question. He's the one that initiated the conversation. I don't want what happened there to dampen what we were able to accomplish today." Dawn Staley was asked about what was said between her and Geno Auriemma at the end of tonight's game:

Congratulations to the @GamecockWBB on an extraordinary performance and a hard-fought, great game. Onward to the National Championship!

I have been around basketball all of my life, and I have NEVER seen a coach do what UCONN Coach Geno Auriemma just did to South Carolina Coach Dawn Staley after his team lost tonight's Final Four. He literally had to be pulled away from her. What an embarrassment! It's bad enough he had a fit during the sideline interview after the third quarter. I am no South Carolina fan, but I have always been "Anybody But UCONN," and if you saw what Geno did tonight, you know why, and you might even understand the friction between the late Coach Pat Summitt and Geno back in the day. Poor example as the entire nation watched and, most importantly, his own players. I hope he wakes up in the morning and gives Dawn a call--right before apologizing to his players, his staff, and his institution. Wow.

What a win for South Carolina tonight 👏 ◽️ Snapped UConn's 54-game win streak ◽️ Only team to hold UConn to under 50 PTS ◽️ Only team with a double-digit lead vs. UConn ◽️ Committed just 8 fouls ◽️ Held Sarah Strong & Azzi Fudd to a combined 7/31 shooting

"I'm proud of coach Staley because she does so much for the girls, for the team... she fights for us" @GamecockWBB @wachfox

Present and all accounted for! @GamecockWBB 🫡🫡

Gamecock WBB has a secret weapon for mental health thanks to Assistant Coach Mary Wooley. She writes players personalized notes before each game. "at least you have something in mind that somebody somewhere is appreciating whatever you're doing" @GamecockWBB | @wachfox

Geno: They're beating our kids up. I got a player with a ripped jersey. *Camera pans to Sarah ripping her own jersey* ..yeahhhhhh .the internet is about to eat that one up..

Dawn Staley shook hands pregame. But let’s call it what it is. She won 3 Olympic Gold Medals as a player. She never gives pregame ‘hugs’. I played against her. Evil eye all the way. She hates her opponent. But she’s always of integrity. Wild that she got in Geno’s head.

Geno Auriemma lied about the pregame handshake, lied about Sarah Strong jersey and tried to call Dawn everything but her name. Unbelievable

It looked like UConn might just have That team this year. Dawn Staley and her squad politely but firmly said “nah.”

Please stop saying Dawn Staley "crashed out" on Geno Auriemma. It's clear on the video that UConn's HC stated something first, & tried to walk off the court as if he didn't. Staley confirmed in her interview Auriemma "initiated" the exchange. Congrats South Carolina on the win.

Dawn Staley, when asked about what started incident with Geno Auriemma “You can ask Geno the question, he’s the one that initiated the conversation. I don’t want what happened to dampen what we were able to accomplish today”
