Syracuse was the first team out on the court for the pre-game shootaround, looking loose. Briana Butler and Brittney Sykes literally danced with each other onto the court, lip-synching to the piped-in music in the arena. UConn was more businesslike. Freshman Katie Lou Samuelson, who broke her foot in the Huskies' semifinal win over Oregon State, stood under the basket in a walking boot, rebounding for her teammates.

The Huskies (37-0) have won 74 straight games. Syracuse (30-7) has lost its last 23 meetings with UConn, a skid that dates to 1996.
