NEW YORK (AP) — It's only December, but UConn showed it's the best team in the country with an early-season win over Notre Dame.
The Huskies topped the Irish 89-71 on Sunday in the women's Jimmy V Classic behind a stellar effort by freshman Christyn Williams, who had 28 points — six points off the school record for a freshman held by Tina Charles.
"We found a way to answer everything," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. "There wasn't anything that went down that we didn't have an answer for. There were a couple times where we looked a little bit disheveled out there, but I thought for the most part we knew we were going to get our buckets and people took turns.
