Elliott is very involved in the greater Cincinnati community, speaking at events and lending support to several charity organizations. Elliott aligned herself and the UC program with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Marvin Lewis Community Fund, and Dress for Success, among others. In 2011, she was instrumental in the adoption of Buzz Smith, a 10-year-old recovering from multiple spinal surgeries. Elliott deemed him a member of the Bearcat Family who will be granted exclusive access to team practices and pre-game rituals.
Elliott spent the better part of two decades with the UConn women's basketball program and Hall of Fame head coach Geno Auriemma, the last 12 years as an assistant coach. She has been a part of six national championships, including the Huskies' 2009 undefeated championship run, and won a title as a player, helping UConn to the 1995 championship, the first in the school's history.

Game Analysis
Not much analysis to do here. Cincinnati goes only 7 deep. Their three post players are 5'11", 6' and 6'1" tall. So not much height. They aren't a very good three point shooting team. And in their last game they only scored 38 points.
The only thing saving them from being embarrassed is Geno's relationship with Elliott.
Final Prediction
Even with Geno putting his foot on the brakes, UConn should win by 55+.
