In a moment that perfectly blended sporting glory with culinary flair, renowned chef and television personality Gordon Ramsay congratulated the UConn women’s basketball team on their recent NCAA Tournament victory. He did so in the most Ramsay way possible, suggesting that the Huskies’ secret to success might have been their pre-game nutrition.

“Congrats @UConnWBB on your @MarchMadnessWBB Championship!! Great game @paigebueckers1, @azzi_35, and Geno! Must’ve been the Beef Wellington,” Ramsay joked.
Led by famed head coach Geno Auriemma, the squad performed admirably throughout the tournament, culminating in a thrilling championship game that displayed their resilience, teamwork, and talent.
Key performers such as Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd contributed to the win. Bueckers, who returned from a knee injury that sidelined her last season, played with poise and leadership, while Fudd’s sharpshooting and defensive energy were critical to UConn’s tournament success.
Ramsay’s tweet notably mentioned Bueckers and Fudd in a graceful acknowledgment of their outstanding court performances. He also lifted his chef’s hat to Auriemma, whose tactical acumen and leadership continue to set the bar in women’s collegiate basketball.

With stars like Bueckers and Fudd likely joining the WNBA shortly and a quality roster on the way, UConn’s future looks brighter than ever.
As for Gordon Ramsay, perhaps the next step is to welcome the squad to one of his restaurants for a celebratory supper – of course, Beef Wellington would be on the menu.
