Geno Auriemma taking an undefeated UConn team to Final Four for 9th time

Geno Auriemma is taking an undefeated UConn team into the women’s Final Four for the ninth time. Unlike past teams with swaggering stars such as Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi, this group is described by their coach as really nice kids who play hard for each other. With AP All-America teammates Azzi Fudd and Sarah Strong, the 38-0 Huskies are trying to repeat as national champions after Paige Bueckers was there last year before being the WNBA's No. 1 overall draft pick. UConn plays in its record 25th Final Four on Friday night when facing South Carolina on Friday in a rematch of last year’s championship game.
