Forgot to post this last week. Another in the Amore series.
“We all know the tradition that UConn men’s basketball has, Wojciechowski said, “and we know Danny Hurley is an outstanding coach and we were bringing another great program, a tradition-rich program into our conference which would only help. We’ve been one of the best conferences in the country year after year and I think UConn only strengthens that as we move forward.
“The Big East is a basketball conference and the kids we recruit identify with the programs and the investment and resources that each respective school pours into its men’s basketball program. So we can give them an elite level of basketball experience, not just in the individual programs, but competitively across the conference. We are all committed to being basketball-first schools, and that has attracted some of the best basketball players in the United States to our league, and some of the best coaches in the United States. That recipe has produced incredible results year after year.”
