SAN ANTONIO — With Arizona leading by double figures in the third quarter, social media was aflame at the prospect of UConn losing to the underdog Wildcats in the Final Four.
USA Today’s Dan Wolken summed up a popular narrative developing on Twitter, asking: “What’s going on with UConn here?” as if something was wrong with the Huskies.
Nothing was. The darlings of the women’s college basketball world were just the latest victim of a buzzsaw that national writers should be well aware of by now.
That is, Aari McDonald and that Arizona Defense™ which is now one win away from winning the national championship and seems destined to claim it.
