Senior Day is always an emotional time for the UConn women’s basketball team. It’s the end of a particular era for members of the senior class. And it’s the last regular season game they’ll ever play at Gampel Pavilion.

One thing you have to watch out for is a letdown. It has happened before. But not this time.

Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis and Breanna Stewart combined for 38 first half points to make sure there was no setback on Senior Day in the UConn Huskies 87-24 win over the Memphis Tigers in front of a sold-out crowd on campus in Storrs, CT.

The win also clinched the regular season American Athletic Conference Championship, UConn’s (28-1, 17-0 American) second in a row. Memphis falls to 13-15 (7-10 American).

KML led the way with 21 points, including five three pointers. She also scored the 2,000th point of her career early in the game. Stewart added 20 points and eight rebounds. Moriah Jefferson chipped in with 12 points and six assists while Gabby Williams had a double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds.

Kiah Stokes, who blocked her 300th career shot in the game, got the start and had four points, nine rebounds, five assists and three blocks.

Ariel Hearn was the high scorer and rebounds for Memphis with seven points and five rebounds. Asia Fuqua-Bey, Mooriah Rowser and Courtney Powell all contributed four points.

There’s no rest for UConn as they’ll head to sunny, warm Florida on Sunday for a matchup with the USF Bulls on Monday night at 7 p.m.

The UConn men’s basketball team has been on one heck of a roller coaster ride all season. There’s been so many ups and downs, it’s surprising no one has gotten stomach sick.

With conference tournament play looming, the UConn Huskies are looking to smooth things out and get the ride going in the right direction yet again.

They got it off to a good start again as the Huskies held off a fight from the Tulane Green Wave in a 67-60 win in front of 9,212 at Gampel Pavilion on Sunday afternoon.

UConn improves to 14-11 (8-6 American) while Tulane falls to 14-11 (5-9 American).

Daniel Hamilton continued his great all-around play with seven points, nine rebounds and nine assists.

Louis Dabney led Tulane with 19 points while Dylan Osetkowski had 12 points. Jay Hook had a team-high eight rebounds to go along with eight points for the Green Wave.

The UConn women’s basketball team came into Saturday’s game against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane with four games left in American Athletic Conference play. For a normal team, that would mean fighting for seeding with the conference tournament looming.

But as we know, the UConn Huskies are no ordinary team. For them, it’s a matter of fine tuning the little things to prepare themselves for the bigger picture, a third straight NCAA Women’s Championship.

They did exactly that in front of 3,568 fans at the Donald W. Reynolds Center when the Huskies doubled up the Golden Hurricane 92-46.

It’s the 25th straight win for UConn who improve to 26-1 (15-0 American). Tulsa falls to 14-12 (9-6 American).

Breanna Stewart led the way for the Huskies with 28 points, nine rebounds and six blocked shots. Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis added 17 points and five assists while both Moriah Jefferson and Kia Nurse both had 12. Jefferson also had six assists and six rebounds.

Saniya Chong rounded out the UConn players in double figures with 11 points.

Ashley Clark and Kelsee Grovery both had 13 points to pace the Golden Hurricane. Clark also pulled down six rebounds to lead them as well.

The Huskies are back in action on Monday night when they head to the Big Easy for a matchup with the Tulane Green Wave. Tip is scheduled for 8 p.m.
