Barring one of the biggest upsets in the history of the sport, the UConn women’s basketball team will once again finish undefeated in conference play for what will be the sixth-straight season.
The Huskies have only come close to losing once in the American, a three-point victory at Tulane in 2017. This year the best challenger, USF, has been snakebitten with injuries to their top three players. When USF comes to Gampel Pavilion on Sunday, they’ll be sporting just a 10-6 record instead of a top-25 ranking.
Ever since the Big East sold its naming rights and became the American, UConn’s conference season has just become one long tune-up for the NCAA Tournament in March.
