The Shocking Rise of UConn Women's Basketball!

Welcome in to The Hoops Cap Pod on the Big East Energy Network — your home for everything UConn Men’s and Women’s Basketball. Today’s guest needs no introduction. Meg Culmo — former UConn forward, 1991 Big East Tournament MOP, part of the program’s first Final Four team, and longtime voice of the Huskies — joins Mark Zanetto for a deep dive into how this entire dynasty was built. From the empty stands of the old Greer Field House to 12 national titles and over 1,250 wins, Meg shares stories of Geno Auriemma, Chris Dailey, and the culture that turned UConn Women’s Basketball into the gold standard of college sports. We also preview the 2025-26 Huskies, break down Geno’s evolution, CD’s perfect 17-0 record as acting head coach, and what makes this year’s roster one of the deepest in program history. 🎙️ Hosted by Mark Zanetto | Founder, Big East Energy Network 📍 Subscribe on YouTube and download the audio version on Apple and Spotify. ⭐ Five-star reviews enter you into our end-of-year giveaway for signed merch and tickets. #BigEastEnergyNetwork | #UConnWBB | #TheHoopsCapPod | #MegCulmo | #GenoAuriemma | #ChrisDailey | #UConn | #BigEast | #WomensBasketball | #CollegeBasketball | #PaigeBueckers | #UConnNation | #FOXCollegeHoops
