Connecticut is favored to win its fourth consecutive and 11th overall NCAA championship in women's basketball on April 5. How favored? Leonardo-winning-the-Oscar-for-"The Revenant"-favored. If not more.
The Huskies are the overall No. 1 seed in the upcoming Big Dance. They have been adamantly stating their case as the best team with their play ever since their opening game of the season, a 100-56 victory at Ohio State on Nov. 16. That came just three days after the Buckeyes had put a scare in the No. 2 team in the country, South Carolina, before falling 88-80 on the Gamecocks' home court.
