The UConn Huskies have been cruising this season. After winning last year's national championship against South Carolina 82-59, Geno Auriemma's Huskies have not skipped a beat. UConn is entering Friday night's game on a 54-game win streak — the longest active streak in women's basketball.
However, familiar foe Dawn Staley and her squad are standing in their way, and there might not be a better method of revenge than beating last year's champion, along with ending their win-streak. Both UConn and South Carolina have had little difficulty against their opponents during this year's tournament. For Staley's team, the Gamecocks have won each of their four games by an average of 40 points (69-point win against Southern, 40-point win against USC, 26-point win against Oklahoma, 26-point win against TCU).
On the other end of the sideline, Auriemma’s Huskies have won their first four games by an average of 32. 5 points (38-point win against UTSA, 53-point win against Syracuse, 21-point win against North Carolina, 18-point win against Notre Dame). UConn’s trio of Strong, Fudd, and Quinonez will look to continue their stellar play as the program seeks its third title game appearance in five seasons.
