Where to watch

Four decades of UConn women’s basketball

This three-part Apple TV documentary follows the University of Connecticut women’s basketball program across Geno Auriemma’s tenure. Rebecca Lobo, Diana Taurasi and Paige Bueckers are among the players whose accounts connect different periods of the team’s history.

The series uses that long span to show how the program’s challenges changed. Establishing a team able to win nationally and sustaining the expectations that come with repeated championships are different tasks.

How the three episodes are organized

Fear of Failure covers Auriemma’s early years building the program and Rebecca Lobo’s emergence on a national stage.

Enemy of the People moves into the rivalry with Tennessee and the period when Diana Taurasi played for UConn.

Breaking Point turns to the pressure of losing and how the team responds. Apple released the three-part series on August 21, 2026.
