UConn vs. ASU

Well everybody, the "March to the Arc" all comes down to this...UConn and ASU tipping off in just a few minutes. The girls look ready to go as always. You can just see it in their faces that they are on a mission. For the 4th consecutive season and the 15th time in the program's history, the Lady Huskies have advanced to the NCAA Regional Finals. This team has advanced to the Final Four in six of the last nine seasons. There is no question that Connecticut was tested for the first half in Sunday's game against California, and as Coach Auriemma said in his press conference yesterday, "If you're going to the Final Four I think you're going to have to be tested, and I think tomorrow is going to be one."

We weren't used to seeing the Huskies so shaky on Sunday, but that's what these games are all about. Tiffany Hayes had the game of her life, scoring a career high 28 points. Like Kemba Walker did on Saturday, she stepped her game up. The other girls fed off her energy and were able to play at an elite level the 2nd half.

Arizona has the longest streak of NCAA appearances in the school's history, and they will be playing in the regional final for the 2nd time in the past three seasons. Game time is here!
