The top-ranked UConn Huskies will take on the South Florida Bulls on Tuesday at 5 p.m. ET in a highly anticipated women’s college basketball matchup. UConn boasts an impressive unbeaten record of 7-0 this season, consistently showcasing their dominance, with only one game decided by single digits.
The game will be broadcast on ESPN2 and is available for streaming via DIRECTV’s free trial, along with other platforms like fuboTV.
In their most recent outing, UConn showcased their explosive offense in a commanding 104-39 victory against Xavier. Allie Ziebell stood out with 16 points, contributing significantly to the team’s season-high of 18 three-pointers. Notably, Ashlynn Shade and Sarah Strong each scored 14 points, further solidifying the strength of the defending national champions. The Huskies displayed remarkable depth, with six players achieving double-digit scoring.
UConn’s ability to score from beyond the arc was evident as they finished just two three-pointers shy of tying their program record of 20, set last December against Iowa State. Azzi Fudd, the reigning Associated Press national player of the week, contributed to the effort with four three-pointers of her own.
Throughout the game, the Huskies exhibited their defensive prowess, allowing Xavier few scoring opportunities and leading them by as much as 24 points at halftime. UConn’s impressive ball movement resulted in their sixth consecutive game with 20 or more assists, showcasing their rank as one of the top teams nationally in assists per game.
With a perfect record against Xavier, UConn has now improved to 10-0 in their all-time meetings with the Musketeers. Looking ahead, UConn will aim to maintain their winning streak against South Florida, while Xavier will be looking to rebound against Providence later this week.
The UConn Huskies’ current form and team cohesion present them as formidable contenders as they continue their quest for a successful season.
