NCAA Women's basketball




To begin, Connecticut Huskies women basketball team has been on a roll. They have done great these past three years winning every year. Three championships in 3 years! That's back to back to back. The huhskies have become a great program.

     First off, the huskies have a lot of history to them..  They play in a decent confrence.. They play in the ACC (American Athletic Conference). Some of the teams in there league are like florida state north carolina, duke, clemson. SO its not like there regular season schedule is a piece of cake but its not extremely hard.  They have won 10 national titles! Three in the past three years. They have also advanced to 16 final fours. They own the longest win streak in college basketball history. At 90 games! One of there biggest rivals is the louisville cardnials. Which they beat in One of there final four appearances in 2013.

     Next, in the past 30 years or so they have had the coach that has led them to this oppurtunity. Their head coaches name is Geno Auriemma. He was born in italy so he is a italian coach. He was an american college basketball coach at connecticut university. He studied at West Chester University of Pennsylvania. Auriemma has been the head coach from 1985- present. Since then in 2012 he became the 6th coach to have 800 victories. His overall record is 917-134.

     PLus, they have had many basketball player's go pro after they played college ball. Many have went to the WNBA and many have been the first round picks of that draft. There has been 23 huskies players that went to the WNBA after college to play. Also, there has been and four of those 23 have been  first round picks. They are Sue Bird (2002), Diana Taurasi (2004). Along with,  Tina Charles (2010), and Maya Moore in 2011.

     These past couple years, they've done outstanding! In 2014 the boys and girls won the march madness Ncaa championship! In the first consecutive championship they went 35-4 during there regular season. The next year they did even better! with a stunning record of 40-0! Then this past year they did pretty good as well. Only losing 1 game and winning 38!

     I think that the womens huskies team has done really good winning three consecutive championships. ALl in all, i think that the huskies womens team has become a really good program.
