UConn, Notre Dame set for women's championship game rematch

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) – The women’s basketball championship game will have a familiar feel to it with UConn and Notre Dame playing for a title for the second straight year.

Unlike last season’s game when much of the conversation building up to the matchup of undefeated teams was about the frosty relationship between Geno Auriemma and Muffet McGraw. This year there is much friendlier attitude between the coaches and their teams, despite the rivals once again meeting on the game’s biggest stage.

A win for the Huskies on Tuesday night would be a third straight title for UConn and 10th overall for Auriemma. That would tie him with UCLA men’s coach John Wooden for the most all-time in college basketball.

Auriemma and UConn have won all nine of their trips to the national championship.
