On Tuesday evening at 7 PM, the University of Connecticut Huskies will unfurl their 22-0 record and No. 1 ranking at Fifth Third Arena. The game will be televised online on ESPN3. You had better watch or, even better, attend the game. The Cincinnati Bearcats’ women’s basketball team is going to make Geno Auriemma’s four-time defending national champions wish they hadn’t made the trip.
The combination of junior guard Ana Owens, senior guard Bianca Quisenberry and junior forward Shanice Johnson will make their Husky counterpoints look like rascals. Here’s why.
Cincinnati’s pluck, pugnacity and perseverance will guide them through this robust challenge.
