STORRS, Conn. — Defense usually doesn’t go into slumps or droughts and, if you have enough players, it doesn’t get tired.
And the way the UConn women’s basketball team is playing defense these days, it’s not getting old.
The Huskies, using their size advantage and ever-fresh legs, smothered Mercer, 83-38, in the first round of the NCAA Tournament before 5,000 on Saturday at Gampel Pavilion.
