Basketball: Women's

Maggie Lucas and UConn guard Caroline Doty both went to Germantown Academy in high school and they are both really good friends. Here are some of their thoughts on playing each other tomorrow.

Lucas on her relationship with Doty...

Me and Caroline, we’re both close. She was great to play with. She was an awesome teammate. We stay in touch. I had a text from her after the [LSU] game congratulating us, saying ‘I’m looking forward to seeing you.’ I’m excited to play against her, but once you get on the court, it’s just another opponent. I think her [trick shot video] is probably better, but I’m coming up with a new one. We’ve actually started working on one together.

Lucas on their pranking lifestyle...

We had prank wars. Somehow I would get a cake thrown in my face and I would get in trouble with my coach. We would cause a little trouble.

Doty on seeing Lucas again...

It’s going to be great. We worked out over the summer together, shooting and being in the gym. We were on the court running and stuff. We would go out to lunch after our workout. To see both of us in the Sweet-16, it’s awesome.

Doty on what they did in high school...

We ran track together. We both shot put. We’d go out to track and throw the shot together. Then we’d go to the gym and shoot some hoops. We’d have these prank wars that were just a riot. It would make going to school everyday so much fun.

Doty on playing against her friend and former teammate...

It’s going to fun. We’ll probably have our smirks here and there during the game. But we have our fun off the court. It’s all business on the court.
