🏀 UConn Dominates in Columbia

CT Insider

What to know: In the world of Women’s College Basketball, there are two titans: UConn and South Carolina. In recent years, South Carolina has had the Huskies’ number. So common knowledge would say that the Gamecocks, riding a 71-game home win streak, would be able to handle the Huskies once again. Unfortunately for South Carolina, the Huskies came to Columbia riding a flaming hot fireball.

The No. 7 Huskies used a vintage performance to dominate SC from start to finish. UConn was seeking a signature win this season against a top-tier team, as they had already suffered losses to Notre Dame, USC, and Tennessee this season. The Huskies hadn’t beaten a top-5 team on the road since 2018 but obtained their marquee victory of the season by dominating in just about every facet of the game.

UConn benefitted from a scoring explosion from Azzi Fudd, who started ice cold but ended the game 6-10 from three with a game-high 28 points. AP National Player of the Year winner Paige Bueckers did all the little things for UConn, scoring 12 points, 10 assists, and 7 rebounds.

Arguably, what was most impressive for the Huskies was their rebounding, a category that SC historically dominates, which was lopsided in favor of the Huskies (48-29). It was an absolute clinic from UConn. There will be more to come from both of these squads as the season winds down.
