INDIANAPOLIS (AP) The University of Connecticut will face an old foe in its bid for a fourth consecutive national championship in women's basketball.
Former Big East opponent Syracuse stood in the way of the Huskies in Tuesday night's game in Indianapolis.
No women's basketball team has ever won four straight titles. Only the UCLA men's basketball team had done it, winning seven straight championships under John Wooden from 1967-73. UConn coach Geno Auriemma entered Tuesday's game tied with Wooden with 10 national titles.
