Geno Auriemma can be quite outspoken at times, and this time round is no different.
Geno Auriemma has spent four decades saying whatever he wants, and with 12 national titles and over a thousand wins at UConn, he knows nobody can really check him.
He's always fiercely protective of his circle, whether he's hyping up Paige Bueckers or cheering on former Huskies like Gabby Williams making noise out in the Bay with the Valkyries.
If you wore the UConn jersey, Geno will go to war for you every time. But if you didn't? Good luck getting him to give you your flowers without some kind of backhanded comment attached.
