WATCH: Geno Auriemma's UConn has hilarious requests for fans to keep players away from distraction
Please don't disturb Geno Auriemma's UConn Huskies, who apparently all need to work out. That was the hilarious premise of the video the UConn WBB Instagram account posted on Wednesday.
The video shows Ayanna Patterson, Morgan Cheli, KK Arnold, Jana El Alfy, Caroline Ducharme, Paige Bueckers, Aubrey Griffin, Azzi Fudd, Ashlynn Shade and Allie Ziebell walking down a UConn corridor with a personalized message stuck to their back.
With SpongeBob's closing theme song playing, the memos mentioned the players' quirky habits, hobbies, behaviors, or interests. It then told the fans to avoid asking about it so the players could focus on practice.
"Please don’t bother our players, they need to workout," the Instagram post read.
Some of the highlighted idiosyncrasies included Ashlynn Shade's love for country music and having "Country Girl Shake It" by Luke Bryan as her favorite song, Paige Bueckers' recent world tour, Jana El Alfy's Lego collection and Azzi Fudd's love for books.
Geno Auriemma and the Huskies are heading towards an integral season. The program is determined to end an eight-year NCAA championship drought.
Bueckers is projected to be a top pick in the WNBA draft next year. However, due to the lack of an NCAA title and Geno Auriemma's constant reminders, she chose to run it back for one more season.
UConn Huskies hilariously reminded Paige Bueckers to attend classes
Last Sunday, Bueckers was seated next to the Dallas Mavericks’ Klay Thompson during the Las Vegas Aces game against the New York Liberty. She had taken part in a private workout with Stephen Curry and Jaylen Brown earlier that morning, which resulted in massive fan engagement at Barclays Center.
The Huskies Instagram handle made the most of the moment, reminding Bueckers to head back to Connecticut and attend her classes during the weekdays.
"Come home, you have classes tomorrow," UConn commented.
Hours later, the Huskies IG admin's marketing move was complemented by Bueckers, as she clicked a picture of her student portal and uploaded it to her story.
