BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — It had to happen eventually. It's a shame it had to happen in a road game as the No. 1 seed.
N.C. State finally ran out of comebacks Monday night, although it took not one but two overtimes for Connecticut to eliminate the Wolfpack in what might have been the most dramatic game of the postseason, of any gender.
N.C. State's quest to return to the Final Four for the first time since 1998 ended with a 91-87 loss, a game decided by the finest of margins in front of a howling home crowd only 90 minutes from Connecticut's campus.
