Geno Auriemma became the winningest coach in NCAA basketball history on Wednesday in front of a sold-out Gampel Pavilion when his Huskies defeated Fairleigh Dickinson. Auriemma had been tied with former Stanford women’s basketball coach Tara VanDerveer going into the game before he surpassed her with his 1,217th win, skyrocketing him into the history books…
In a best-case scenario, it’d be just a one-game need for the Nets. They’d get Cam Thomas — who missed Tuesday’s win with lower back tightness that head coach Jordi Fernandez called “nothing major” — back in their lineup Friday and wouldn’t start Jalen Wilson.
