In a significant upset, No. 7 UConn defeated No. 4 South Carolina 87-58, ending the Gamecocks' 71-game home winning streak. Azzi Fudd led the Huskies with 28 points, showcasing her scoring ability with six 3-pointers. UConn dominated the game, building a substantial lead by halftime and never relenting. South Carolina's loss underscores their vulnerability this season, losing key matches and struggling to maintain their defensive prowess. This outcome may change the dynamics in women's college basketball as UConn's potential resurgence as a championship contender becomes apparent, especially with Fudd's standout performances.
Fudd followed up a career-best 34-point performance in a win over St. John's this Wednesday by torching the Gamecocks. She had six of UConn's 13 3-pointers, including four in the third quarter to close off any South Carolina hope of a comeback.
It was a big win for the Huskies, who fell at another SEC opponent, Tennessee 80-76, earlier this month. With a healthy Fudd playing at this level, UConn can be a championship contender.
