Sarah Strong can't wait for the 2025 March Madness to start. The UConn Huskies star wrote a catchy caption for her Instagram post on Wednesday, drawing the attention of her teammates, including Paige Bueckers and KK Arnold.

Strong posted six photos of herself and the Huskies in the recently concluded Big East Tournament. The sixth slide featured Strong, Bueckers, Arnold and Ice Brady sitting on the winner's podium with the Big East Tournament trophy. Strong isn't satisfied with just that title, though.

"Time to dance," Strong wrote in the caption of her post.
