STORRS, Conn. (AP) — As faux $100 bills adorned with coach Geno Auriemma's face rained down on the sellout crowd at UConn after the team's 100th consecutive win, the Hall of Fame coach waxed poetic about the Huskies' past and present.
It's the future though, that he's most interested in.
With 100 straight victories in the books, Auriemma and his top-ranked Huskies can turn their attention to the more important streak — a fifth consecutive national championship and 12th overall.
"Tonight they carried the torch across the finish line to 100, so to speak, they took the last baton and crossed the finish line," Auriemma said after the 66-55 win over South Carolina on Monday.
