[ELITE EIGHT: #1 Connecticut] Connecticut has all the elements for making a national championship run, a deep and talented team loaded with experience. Anotherkey is chemistry. The Huskies hope to build on a successful spring trip to Canada that Coach Ray Reid says is one of the best things he’s ever organized.
“The chemistry of the group was just fantastic,” said Reid. “I was saying to myself, ‘Can we pull this off? Because we’ll lose three weeks in May of getting ready for the fall.’ But I thoughtthe players deserved it, and it could be a home run. Turns out, it was one of the best things I’ve done.”
The Huskies went 19-3-3 in 2011 and made their 14th consecutive trip to the NCAATournament, where they fell in the quarterfinals.
