The No. 1-ranked UConn women’s basketball team welcomes back a legend as it returns home to face DePaul on Sunday, Dec. 7, at Gampel Pavilion.
Huskies great Sue Bird will be the third player in program history to have her jersey (No. 10) retired. She joins Rebecca Lobo (No. 50) and Swin Cash (No. 32). Bird, who won two national titles at UConn, remains the school record holder in 3-point field goal percentage (45.9) and free throw percentage (89.2).
“It should be a really fun day,” UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. “I talked to the players about it, that it’s not often that you get to be a part of something like this. I know I’m excited about it, and hopefully they are as well.”
Bird has spent most of 2025 being honored. First, she was inducted into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in June. Then, the Storm unveiled a statue of Bird in front of Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle in August. Finally, she was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in September.
