Baylor returns to the Final Four for the first time since winning the national title in 2012.
CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMOREThe names are familiar: Connecticut. Notre Dame. Baylor. Geno Auriemma. Muffet McGraw. Kim Mulkey. The three powers of women's college basketball — and their three head coaches, each a dominant figure in their own right — have combined for seven of the past nine national championships, five belonging to the Huskies' alone.
"I know one of the focuses this year was to get here to a Final Four," Graves said. "We didn't want to be an Elite Eight program, we wanted to be a Final Four program." "We've got our work cut out for us," said Graves. "They're not just tall, they're skilled. It looks like sometimes they play volleyball with each other. They're just throwing it up and over the opponents."
"It's not going to be uncommon or uncomfortable for us to expect that and to see that," said Mulkey. Unlike in the past, UConn isn't the top overall seed; that would be Baylor. In fact, the Huskies weren't the top seed in the Albany Region, with Louisville drawing the honor. The program hasn't won a championship since Samuelson was a freshman, losing in the Final Four in each of the past two years. If not the underdog in Tampa, UConn is not viewed as the favorite.
