Game 13 - Connecticut women at Ohio State

November 16 at Value City Arena in Columbus, OH
ESPN2

Connecticut is trying to become the first team in either men's or women's basketball to win four consecutive national titles and the Huskies got off to a fine start Monday evening.

Reigning national player of the year Breanna Stewart scored 24 points, fellow senior Moriah Jefferson had 21 (those two might be the best pair of teammates in the country) & the Huskies rolled to a 100-56 victory.

Uconn's defense was excellent as well, holding OSU to 33 percent shooting and sophomore Kelsey Mitchell, who as a freshman led the nation in scoring, to a career-low eight points on 2-of-14 shooting. The Buckeyes, who suffered the worst home loss in the program's history, have so far played and lost to the No. 2 team in the country in South Carolina (88-80 on November 13) and the top-ranked Huskies.
