This team went from “normal contender” (like Taurasi’s last team) to 2015-2016 level dominance really quickly. That Tennessee loss was a godsend. Hell of a turnaround.

Congratulations Huskies!

UConn has far and away been the best team in the country since mid-February. These young ladies are so deserving and I’m glad Paige was able to close this chapter at UConn with a long awaited championship. I think this team rallied for her and them seeing Ducharme battle back also had to be another rallying point to perform this postseason. Oh, and Sarah Strong is just ridiculously great. Can’t wait to see her second year in the system.

Sarah Strong may be the best freshman we've ever had. 25/15/5 with 3 steals and blocks on 67% from the floor is absurd.

Final 4 MVP in my book and I'm not sure it's close.

I legit had a dream in the summer of 2024 that we won it all. I kept my mouth shut all year until we were up 30 with half a quarter to go. Congrats to a great season by SC! But no one could stop this team this past 6 weeks. Unbelievable. I cried when Coach embraced Paige. Everyone today played their part. We’ll miss you Paige!!!

Thanks to Geno, CD & staff and all of our wonderful student athletes.
For those of us invested in UConn and NCAAW basketball, the season is
always something we all look forward to and enriches our lives. Let's go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's on-topic from my point of view. I love how UConn has already backed up their fall 2023 "Basketball Capital of the World" self-label with additional men's and women's titles. Awesome. Great for the programs and the school rep. We need to stay on top right now. Maybe we'll have another dual championship next season... who knows?

I almost made it until was over...yup I'm a chicken when it comes to watching this year's Final Four

 

[blkknight1]

Surgical tourney run their hardest game was the elite 8 game similar to the men team last year beat the breaks off every one.

I can’t explain how happy I am for Paige and the team. So many injuries, so much heartbreak, even this season they looked really rough at times. And they end the season by absolutely demolishing three 1 seeds to win it all

I was lucky enough to be a student on campus for all 4 of 2013-2016. By far, without ANY doubt, this was my favorite one.

LETS GO HUSKIES

 

[JellyBean]

We are back on top of the mountain!!! Congrats. I am so proud of this program!! #12 is the books!!

 

[HuskyNan]

I have something in my eye…..

Paige is going out on top with a great accomplishment blowout NC game. She is now not only a great player but a UConn and National Legend.
True, the monetary environment is different between the men’s and women’s game, but Paige did better waiting a year and going out on top.
Liam is from a top notch family who traveled long distances to support him nearly every game and he is a super competitor with tons of talent from long hours in the gym.
However, the inescapable conclusion is Liam should come back, accomplish something and go to the pros a man of accomplishment and a Champion.
He is capable of great things, but his zip code should be Storrs next year. Getting stronger and kick butt in Storrs and then the nation.

 

[Jaml]

Despite some hiccups as we were getting injured players back, despite the three losses, this has to be considered one of the best teams in NCAAW history...beating 3 #1 seeds and nothing was remotely close.

 

[JakeTheDog]

Paige gets her ring and Sarah Strong is just getting started. Watch out!

 

[HuskyinWRNY]

Alpha dogs!!!

 

[Stagnant]

I lost a lot of faith in this team after Tennessee. I am very happy to be proven wrong. Geno’s interview was revealing. Something changed with this team and they gelled and they trusted each other and it really took off on the court.

I always thought the team was flawed. That it wasn’t athletic enough and it was weak in the front court. But again. I was clearly wrong. They matched their skill with grit and became unstoppable.

I am going to miss Chen, Paige, and Aubrey. And I will always remember what they accomplished.

I always thought Azzi was the key to this game. And she delivered. The allegations that Azzi is not a big game player are dead.

And for most outstanding player. I would go with Sarah strong. It could be Azzi though.

 

[Palatine]

Great for the UConn brand. Congrats to the young women.

 

[Newfie]

I have to be honest, in the beginning of the year. I did not think we had any possibility of a national championship. I am so happy to be wrong. Women on this team have gone through so much. This is definitely one of the most gratifying. Congratulations!!!!!

 

[CockyMecha]

Congrats, UCONN! Well deserved. Definitely the best team this season. Sad for our team, but happy for Paige and UCONN.

 

[msf22b]

It was a tough, unpretty, toughly contested game.
Maybe the defense was not quite as stifling as it has been.

But then UConn hit the switch, and SC didn't have a chance.
Just too any weapons.
