Connecticut Huskies prepare for upcoming season amid player health concerns

The Connecticut Huskies are gearing up for the 2026-27 NCAA women's basketball season, targeting a fourth consecutive Final Four appearance. A key focus is Sarah Strong's recovery from an Achilles issue, which could impact the team’s performance. Last season, the Huskies finished 38-1, dominating the Big East with a significant margin. They lost in the Final Four to South Carolina. Notable departed players include Azzi Fudd, the WNBA's top draft pick, and Serah Williams, who is now with the Portland team. The returning roster includes Sarah Strong, who was a standout performer, along with Ashlynn Shade and KK Arnold, who can help boost the offense this year.
