After rejoining the BIG EAST July 1, 2020, the No. 1-ranked University of Connecticut Huskies completed their undefeated conference season by winning the program’s 19th BIG EAST title and defeating Marquette 73-39 at Mohegan Sun Arena Monday night.
“My first year here at UConn, that was the goal, to make the BIG EAST Tournament,” UConn head coach Geno Auriemma said. “To go from that to then not being in the league to being back in the league, it felt pretty amazing (to win).”
This was the Golden Eagles’ fifth straight appearance in the BIG EAST Championship game and third time facing the Huskies this season.
