UConn's Record Winning Streak Ends In Final Four Heartbreaker

DALLAS -- When the final shot swished through the net and UConn's record streak was over, all Geno Auriemma could do was smile.

"I can't say I'm surprised," Auriemma said. "It's something I've been talking about to the guys all year long. I've been talking about it all year. We're playing way above our years, way above our experience level and tonight it caught up to us when we needed to be more mature with what we're doing.
