No. 2 seed University of Connecticut is no stranger to postseason success.
UConn’s head coach Geno Auriemma led the Huskies to their 29th-straight Sweet 16 on Monday, but he said No. 7 seed Baylor women’s basketball threatened in a big way.
“There was a period of time during that game where I thought we’re really, really, really in big trouble because we were having so much trouble executing the defensive game plan that we wanted,” Auriemma said.
The Bears hung tough for about three quarters before falling by a large margin to the Huskies, 77-58, on their home court in the second round of the NCAA Tournament in the Gampel Pavilion in Storrs, Conn.
