Live updates: UConn women's basketball vs. Stanford in the Final Four (CT Insider)

Is Paige Bueckers the next Diana Taurasi? · UConn coach Geno Auriemma has strong words about the transfer portal.

Williams is the first Husky to win the award. UConn missed its first couple of 3-pointers, but both came with plenty of space between the shooter and the defender. Stanford is outscoring UConn in the paint 18-4. Azzi Fudd also picked up a second foul, so she will likely take to the bench for a bit. UConn is shooting 35% and Stanford 37%, although Stanford really picked it up in the second quarter. Behind the scenes, she’s not only a leader, but known as ‘Mama Westbrook’ because she’s known to take care of the players. We’ll see if it limits her at all in the second half. Williams, a senior, has been a standout in the postseason and solid all year. Geno Auriemma said in the first quarter he wanted his post players to attack the basket. She looks to be in a bit of pain, but chances are she has little interest in coming out. Paige Bueckers led the Huskies with 14 points, while Evina Westbrook scored 12, including three 3-pointers in the first half. UConn is headed back to the national championship for the first time since 2016.

UConn women's basketball's rivalry with Stanford built on mutual ... (The UConn Blog)

The Huskies and Cardinal are competitors, not adversaries, according to Tara VanDerveer.

UConn’s trip to Minneapolis for the Final Four is a homecoming of sorts on two fronts. If that happens, it would also snap the Huskies’ longest championship drought since they won their first in 1995. But they haven’t met since the 2017-18 opener — a bizarre neutral-site contest in Columbus, Ohio of all places. “(The series) didn’t get renewed,” Auriemma said. They play hard, they play together, they play positionless most of the time, they shoot the ball great every year. Both coaches seemed to push the onus onto the other to set something up. Could a future series be in the works? “Geno likes to kind of get in little battles with people. The Cardinal are led by Tara VanDerveer, who owns the third-highest winning percentage of any coach against Auriemma (38.9) and is the only women’s coach with more victories than him. At the same time, those rivalries were also famous for everything that happened off the court. After Pat Summitt abruptly ended the series in 2007, Notre Dame became the Huskies’ archenemy. For over 20 years, UConn’s rivalries dominated the sport of women’s basketball.
