Auriemma on today's Maggie Dixon Classic.

Geno Auriemma says he feels like a little kid when he coaches at Madison Square Garden. But he's taking the UConn women's basketball team to New York today to play a tournament he wishes he did not have to play.

"It's a positive thing because you're honoring the memory of someone who was a great person, a great coach," he said. "But it's a negative because you have to do that. She should still be here."
