NEW YORK
A record-breaking win, a somber victory, a triple-OT buzzer beater and a milestone reached, it was a busy week in women’s basketball.
It’s 91 and counting now for UConn after the Huskies broke their own NCAA record on Saturday with a 40-point win over SMU.
“Our first year we were 12- 15 and I didn’t know if we’d get to 90 in my coaching career,” UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. “So many things that have happened at UConn are beyond anyone’s expectations or imagination. Almost like it’s a fairy tale. It’s the kind of things you can’t ever plan for, anticipate. You can strive to be great, but something like this, it’s just not something you allow yourself to think about since it’s so unrealistic.”
