Hey TZ! No. 1 UConn ends Baylor's 69-game home winning streak

WACO, Texas -- Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma was as anxious as anyone to see how his top-ranked Huskies would handle a close game.

They responded in another streak-busting performance.

Breanna Stewart made a short baseline jumper with 10½ minutes left, starting a game-ending 16-6 run after No. 7 Baylor had closed within one point, and the Huskies went on to a 66-55 victory Monday night to snap the Lady Bears' national-best 69-game home winning streak.

"There were certain possession that we had to win those possessions, and we did," Auriemma said. "Even though we were up the whole time, it never seemed liked it was going to get away from them. ... We were timely."

Pat's successor needs to get the Lady Vols back on the radar screen.

I think they were ranked #3 pre-season, which made no sense given their history of the past few years...
