Geno Auriemma told Tiffany Hayes point-blank that she needed to step up and seize more of a leadership role this season for the Huskies. The way Geno looks at is the people who are going to have the ball in their hands the most need to be among the team’s greatest leaders.
It is still early in the preseason, but it appears that Hayes has taken the challenge and run with it. All-American Tina Charles was raving about Hayes’ leadership Tuesday.
“She’ll huddle us together and she’ll be the one talking,’’ Charles said. “So I think that’s great just her being a sophomore …. Off the court, she’s talkative. She likes to be in everybody’s business just the way Renee (Montgomery) was sometimes. So it’s not a surprise.’’
The Huskies’ game at Holy Cross at the DCU Center Nov. 20 will now start at 7 p.m. It had been listed as a 7:30 start.
