40 years of players come through.

And so that bonds us because we all have like similar experiences because we've all had the same coach.

So it really is such a sisterhood.

And so I feel that connection to any team that is there.

And it's also like, especially fun to watch when they're, you know, they're rolling, like you're saying right now, they are the best in the country.

They won last year.

They're doing great this year.

Again, they have some really star power players.

So I always love when my Huskies are doing well.

Yeah, it's hard.

Freshman year is really hard and they make it their way on purpose.

Coach has said in interviews, you know, he breaks the freshman down to build them in the way that he wants them to be like the UConn image.

And that breakdown process is just brutal.

It's really hard.

But if you can get through it and the people who survived there for four years are there's a reason there's so many UConn players in the league.

The way that he teaches basketball IQ, the system like you can work.

I like UConn players can work with any type of players, any type of personalities.

I think we do that really well.

And we work in any type of system because he taught us that way.

And so it is a really hard, brutal training process, like you said, but man, if you get through like you're set up for life.
