Slow start 'caught up to us,' as UConn bows out of NCAA tourney

SEATTLE -- UConn women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma remarked earlier this season that all good things come to an end after the Huskies dropped back-to-back games for the first time since March 1993.

Now, the same could be said Saturday, albeit regarding something of much greater consequence and more shocking magnitude: No. 2 seed UConn will not appear in the Final Four for the first time since 2007 after falling in the Sweet 16 of the Seattle 3 Regional to the No. 3 seed Ohio State Buckeyes 73-61.

It's also the first time since 2005 that the Huskies fell as early as the regional semifinal in the NCAA tournament.
