Despite trailing going into the fourth quarter, the UConn women’s basketball team defeated the 6-seed UCLA Bruins in the Sweet Sixteen to advance to the Elite Eight.
After three quarters, the Huskies were behind 50-49 after gradually watching their lead disappear. UConn’s offense was stagnant and struggled to find the basket. But a flip switched at the start of the fourth quarter.
UConn came out with its hair on fire, going on a quick 6-0 run that forced UCLA to take a timeout while firing up the heavily pro-UConn crowd in Albany. From there, the Huskies saw weakness and went for the jugular.
