One Tourney Down, One To Go
HARTFORD (The New Haven Register) — Of all the words used to describe the UConn women’s basketball team during its NCAA Division I-record 72-game winning streak, “blue collar” would not exactly be near the top of the list.
But those were the prevailing words that West Virginia coach Mike Carey used after his Mountaineers set a Big East championship game-record for offensive futility, with plenty of help from the Huskies.
Top-ranked UConn held the ninth-ranked Mountaineers scoreless for nearly 11½ minutes down the stretch en route to a 60-32 victory in the Big East tournament final before 10,040 at the XL Center on Tuesday night.
