UNCASVILLE, Conn. — The UConn women came into the Big East tournament firing on all cylinders, and we’re not talking about a V-6 any more, or even a V-8.
The Huskies are moving more like a nine-cylinder, if such an odd number existed in high-powered sports cars, and that was far too much firepower for Georgetown. With coach Geno Auriemma running fresh players in and out, UConn overwhelmed the Hoyas, 84-38, Saturday in the conference quarterfinals at Mohegan Sun.
“The talent of UConn took over,” Georgetown coach James Howard said. “... Their length, their experience, their ‘why.’ I mean, when I say ‘their why,’ they’re playing for a national championship. They’re not playing for anything else. They’re trying to find their chemistry.”
