UConn
There are few words strong enough to describe accurately the UConn senior trio of Breanna Stewart, Moriah Jefferson and Morgan Tuck.
The Huskies stars – who are expected to go 1-2-3 in the WNBA draft if Tuck does not return (she was granted a medical redshirt after only playing eight games in her sophomore season before tearing up her knee) – capped their fourth consecutive national title by whipping Syracuse 82-51. How bad was it? Well, Syracuse lost by 31 and they had a 16-0 run in the third quarter. You do the math.
As for the other numbers, well, they are pretty staggering. Stewart won her fourth Final Four most outstanding player as the trio collected its fourth NCAA title Tuesday night. No class has ever won four titles. (Remember the UCLA teams that won all those titles in a row did it when freshmen were ineligible.)
It’s the most successful run in for a collection of players in college sports history. Four titles.
