The “underdog” UConn Huskies are national champions once again!
The No. 2 seeded team took the national title — their 12th overall — handily beating the South Carolina Gamecocks with a final score of 82-59 on Sunday, April 6.
During the game at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla., the Huskies — led by head coach Geno Auriemma and an array of role players, including presumptive 2025 WNBA Draft No. 1 pick Paige Bueckers — had a particularly impressive showing in the third quarter, per ESPN.
They managed to open up a 20-point lead, which ultimately culminated in a blowout by the game's conclusion.
