UConn Ends South Carolina's Historic 71-Game Home Win Streak

The No. 7 UConn Huskies ended the No. 4 South Carolina Gamecocks' impressive 71-game home winning streak with a commanding 87-58 victory, marking South Carolina's worst home loss since 2008. UConn showcased dominance throughout the game, particularly in the second quarter where they outscored the Gamecocks 24-9, leading to a 45-23 halftime advantage. Azzi Fudd led UConn with 28 points, while Paige Bueckers contributed significantly despite struggling with her shooting, recording 12 points, 10 assists, and 7 rebounds. This defeat follows a series of setbacks for South Carolina, including a recent loss to Texas that ended their 57-game SEC regular season win streak. The Gamecocks will look to rebound in their next game against Arkansas on Thursday. UConn's victory not only highlights their resurgence but also positions them as a formidable contender as the season progresses toward March Madness.
