“Some years it's more than a great year, it's something really special,” said Auriemma, addressing the crowd prior to the scrimmage. “You can feel it, you can sense it.” Auriemma went on to say that with this team he can sense that something special. The Huskies were 32-4 last season with a Big East regular-season championship and a Final Eight berth, losing one step shy of the Final Four. This year, UConn adds Moore, the two-time Naismith Player of the Year for Collins Hill High School in Lawrenceville, Ga., as well as Dixon, a former teammate of Tina Charles at Christ the King in New York where they earned two No. 1 rankings nationally. Auriemma said later that because Moore and Dixon are accustomed to winning, he thinks they'll fit in nicely as they approach their first collegiate practice.
