Deborah Stroman speaks with 97.9 The Hill News Director Brighton McConnell on Friday, Nov. 22. In the wake of UConn women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma breaking the NCAA basketball all-time wins record, Stroman shares her thoughts on the icon, how the program has sustained its success, and her personal relationship to him. Plus, as the college basketball season heats up, she discusses whether it’s better to have a difficult non-conference schedule to test your team or play an easier slate of teams to pad your tournament resumé with wins.
