Well, today’s the day.
The South Carolina Gamecocks are in Storrs, Connecticut tonight to take on the #1 UConn Huskies. And even though the Gamecocks are #6, it’s definitely a David vs. Goliath battle: UConn will be going for its 100th straight win - a relatively lesser goal that pales in comparison to their ultimate one of winning a fifth consecutive national championship.
To think that this was supposed to be a “rebuilding” year, too. From the Post and Courier:
After losing players who would become the top three selections in the WNBA draft, this was supposed to be the season Connecticut came back to the field.
