President Barack Obama Plays with the UConn Women

The UConn Women were excited to be honored By President Obama earlier this week, and the White House has just released this brilliant video of the NCAA champions playing President Obama in a game of PIG, a shorter version of HORSE on their YouTube channel.

"He only missed one shot out of five shots. In 20 years, I'll remember that I could not make one jump shot at the White House. My clothes hindered me. I couldn't extend my arms," senior Renee Montgomery told the Hartford Courant.

When the President met with the team, he said he was proud of them and made a special note that, as a dad of two girls, it is teams like the UConn Huskies who helped women make a name for themselves in professional basketball.

Full Story at the Hartford Courant.
