Connecticut has had almost a full week to savor a coming-of-age victory after handing the previously undefeated Minnesota Lynx their first loss of the season.
After four straight losing seasons and having started this year with four straight losses, the Sun seemed like the same old team.
But now Connecticut has risen to 5-5 after beating Minnesota 98-93 on June 17. The Sun have won four straight but understand they can’t rest on their laurels because if they do that winning streak will come crashing down when they visit the New York Liberty (7-4) on Friday.
“I’m really proud of them,” second-year Connecticut coach Curt Miller told reporters after the win against Minnesota.
