No. 2 UConn women's basketball prepares for season after tough Final Four loss

UConn women's basketball, ranked No. 2 in the AP preseason poll, is gearing up for the new season following an emotional Final Four loss to South Carolina last year. The team, led by returning players Sarah Strong, KK Arnold, and Ashlynn Shade, aims to bounce back after scoring only 48 points in the semifinals—their lowest in NCAA Tournament history. Coach Geno Auriemma reflected on last season's challenges and the team's need for improvement. UConn plans to face South Carolina again on November 24 at Mohegan Sun Arena, where a previous exchange between Auriemma and South Carolina's Dawn Staley remains a focal point for fans and media.
