Immediately after her heated altercation with Geno Auriemma, Dawn Staley spoke on it with Holly Rowe and gave her thoughts.
Rowe asked Staley what went wrong that sparked the confrontation, to which she responded with grace:
“I have no idea, but imma let you know this: I’m of integrity. I’m of integrity. So if I did something wrong to Geno, I had no idea what I did. I guess he thought I didn’t shake his hand at the beginning of the game. I didn’t know, I went down there pregame, shook everybody on his staff’s hand. I don’t know what he came with after the game. But hey, sometimes things get heated, we move on.”
After a close first half that ended 26-24, Staley had her squad energized and ready to go for the second half, outscoring the Huskies 38-22 to finish the game.
