Geno Auriemma’s Huskies are 11-0 in NCAA title games, but Dawn Staley’s Gamecocks have been top ranked all season
MINNEAPOLIS — It’s one of the most remarkable records in sports. Geno Auriemma and his UConn Huskies are 11-0 in NCAA championship games.
“I think for me the approach that’s worked the best is make sure you bring the best team,” Auriemma said. “So I would venture to say that all 11 times that we’ve won — maybe there was one time — but I don’t think we surprised anybody by winning because we had the best team. We had the best team all year. We had the best talented players. We played harder than everybody. We were just better than everybody.
“It comes down to UConn has had the most experience, so it doesn’t faze them to be where they are. Probably a little bit different with this group because they haven’t won one — any person hasn’t won one on their roster. For us, same way, haven’t won one. I think we’re going to duke it out. There’s no edge. There’s no edge.”
Both teams have improved since that early season meeting. They both have major star power with the Gamecocks led by AP Player of the Yea r Aliyah Boston and the Huskies by last season’s award winner Paige Bueckers.
