UConn women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma, who has been under the weather since securing his 11th national championship on April 5, was hospitalized Saturday and was “resting comfortably,” the school said.
Auriemma, who returned home from Indianapolis with the Huskies on April 6, missed the parade honoring his team in Hartford on April 10, and he was absent from the annual Husky Day event at the Capitol on Wednesday. His illness has been described by school spokesmen as “flu-like symptoms.”
He went to the Mohegan Sun on Thursday for the WNBA draft, in which UConn seniors Breanna Stewart, Moriah Jefferson and Morgan Tuck were taken first, second and third, and he seemed to be recovered.
But on Saturday, as he boarded a plane at Bradley International Airport, Auriemma began feeling ill again and decided to leave the plane and seek more medical attention, according to a university statement.

Castroneves turned a lap at 1 minute, 7.1246 seconds to earn the top starting spot for today’s race on the temporary street course. It’s the second consecutive year Castroneves will start from the pole at Long Beach, and second consecutive race. He also won the pole two weeks ago at Phoenix, and Penske teammate Will Power won the pole for the season-opening race at St. Petersburg.
Bristol, Tenn.
Larson led a race-high 94 of 200 laps thanks to a series of daring moves between cars on the tight half-mile track that kept Busch at bay during the final third. Then came the final caution that left a three-lap sprint on the restart, when Jones’ No. 20 Toyota Camry got past Busch’s No. 18 Toyota on the outside before he eventually cleared Larson, whose No. 42 Chevy finished third.
Jones then withstood a last charge from Busch to win the race after starting on the pole. He led three times for 62 laps and collected a $100,000 bonus with a third career series victory that also denied Busch’s bid for a third consecutive weekend sweep of NASCAR events.
Busch, the Sprint Cup Series champion, led 43 laps after starting fifth.Austin Dillon was fourth and Justin Allgaier fifth in Chevys.

The threat of relegation ended some time ago for Chelsea, but an 11th loss of a feeble title defense was inflicted by Manchester City. Sergio Aguero’s hat trick secured a 3-0 win that bolstered City’s position in the Champions League places.
Elsewhere on Saturday, seventh-place Southampton remains in contention for Europa League qualification after drawing 1-1 at Everton. Watford climbed to 12th place by winning 1-0 at West Bromwich Albion thanks to goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes saving two penalties after Ben Watson’s goal.
