UConn women’s basketball’s season came to a bitter end in the Final Four as the Arizona Wildcats delivered a stunning upset, 69-59.
It was a convincing defeat, one in which the Huskies never led and didn’t get closer than five points over the final 31 minutes. It’s also UConn’s first double-digit NCAA Tournament loss since 2007 when LSU blew the Huskies out 73-50 in the Elite Eight.
“Embarrassed, disappointed in ourselves for not playing UConn basketball,” Evina Westbrook said postgame. “Embarrassed for our alumni and our fans having to watch us play like that.”
UConn didn’t play well in any facet of the game — offense, defense, on the boards and everything in between.
