The No. 1 UConn women's basketball team cruised to an 84-39 win over Georgetown in the quarterfinals of the Big East tournament on Saturday. The Huskies, who have now won 37 consecutive conference tournament games, improved to 32-0 on the season and extended their overall winning streak to 48 games.
Why it matters
UConn's dominant performance against Georgetown continues the Huskies' reign as one of the most successful women's basketball programs in NCAA history. As the top-ranked team in the country, UConn is widely expected to make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament and potentially win its 12th national championship.
The details
UConn led Georgetown by 22 points at halftime and then held the Hoyas to just 4 points in the third quarter to pull away. The Huskies were led by guard Azzi Fudd, who scored a game-high 18 points. Georgetown, which has now lost to UConn in the Big East tournament in four of the past five seasons, fell to 14-17 on the year.
