UConn women’s basketball advanced to the Sweet 16 with a 77-58 win over the 7-seed Baylor Bears. The Huskies trailed by six after the first quarter but started the second on a 9-0 run to re-take the lead and never went behind again.
Azzi Fudd dropped 22 points — the most she’s scored since a 24-point effort against Iowa on Nov. 27 — and went off in the third quarter with 16 points. The rest of the team had just six points in that frame.
Aaliyah Edwards had 19 points on 9-of-11 shooting despite being limited to 24 minutes due to foul trouble.
