NCAA Final Four Louisville Connecticut Basketball

The Connecticut Huskies women’s basketball team finished the season with an undefeated 39-0 record after dominating Louisville 76-54 to win their sixth National Championship.

“We have nothing to be disappointed about,” Louisville’s forward Angel McCoughtry said. “We’re going to hold our heads up high.”

UConn’s junior center Tina Charles led the Huskies in points (25) and rebounds (19).

“Tina Charles did an outstanding job of intimidating us,” Louisville Coach Jeff Walz said. “We had no answer for her.”

After the win Connecticut’s coach Geno Auriemma was looking forward to a good nights rest without needing to worry about an upcoming game.

“I’m so overwhelmed how I feel about the way it ended,” Auriemma said. “This is the first time since the brackets came out I didn’t feel like I’m going to get sick, physically sick, thinking about everything that was ahead of us.”
