Coach Geno Auriemma talks 'major contributor Ice Brady , Paige Bueckers' brilliance, being 'grateful' to play in final again

In this UConn post game interview, SNY's Chelsea Sherrod talks with head coach Geno Auriemma after the Huskies advanced to the Big East tournament finals with a 58-29 victory over Marquette. With star forward Aaliyah Edwards sidelined due to a broken nose, freshman Ice Brady helped fill the void with a 10-point, five-rebound performance. Auriemma: "She sees herself as a major contributor now... you can't put a price on that." As for Paige Bueckers who scored a game-high 27 points and grabbed 12 rebounds the coach said, "I love when she takes ownership of the whole thing, the great players do." Monday night's championship game will be UConn's 20th straight conference final but for Auriemma, "this is one of those years that we're really grateful to be playing tomorrow."
