Geno Auriemma
She doesn't need to be reminded that the Huskies are unbeaten (at 36-0) and have been for a while.
The Irish have moved on to the Atlantic Coast Conference and the Huskies to the American Athletic Conference. It's their 11th straight trip to the Final Four, they've been on a mission and yes, they're a very good team.
Irish fans will harken back to landmark Notre Dame series wins: the 2001 regular-season meeting in South Bend (the first Irish series win after 11 defeats), the NCAA national semifinal victory in that same Notre Dame national title season, two more NCAA semifinal wins in 2011 and 2012 and a run of seven Irish triumphs in eight games from 2010-11 through 2012-13. She had her season high of 33 points against Duquesne on December 22 and recorded her first career double-double with 18 points and 10 assists in UConn's NCAA first-round win over Saint Francis of Pennsylvania.
The Huskies and Fighting Irish will square off again in the Final Four on Friday (ESPN2, 9 p.m. ET).
Victoria Vivians led the Bulldogs with 25 points.
Mississippi State's return to the Final Four caught the attention of the national media as Vic Schaefer was named National Coach of the Year by the United States Basketball Writers Association on Friday.
In a rather weird sense, the Irish head into Final Four play Friday night as a number-one seed and the Spokane Regional champion-yet Notre Dame (33-3) has as many losses as the rest of the field combined, with all three to teams alive in Columbus. UConn got 17 points and eight rebounds off the bench from Azurá Stevens, and 12 points and five assists from Crystal Dangerfield.
"It's because every good player coming out of high school goes to CT".
Notre Dame (33-3), as usual, has similarities to UConn.
Stevens scored 10 of her 17 points in the fourth quarter as CT outscored Notre Dame 26-9 to win the game.
In 2017, the title game. So?
"Known as the team that ended UConn's 111-game winning streak last season, Mississippi State (36-1) is led by Teaira McCowan, a 6'7" center who grabbed 13.6 rebounds a game this season. In 2011, the Irish were "only" a two seed. UConn is in the semifinals for the 19th time, snapping a tie with Tennessee for the most in women's basketball.

Zacks Investment Research Downgrades Netflix (NFLX) to Hold
The Internet television network reported $0.41 EPS for the quarter, hitting the Thomson Reuters' consensus estimate of $0.41. Also, insider Jonathan Friedland sold 2,743 shares of the business's stock in a transaction dated Wednesday, January 3rd.
UConn and Notre Dame have played 46 times, with the Huskies holding a 35-11 advantage.
"It does seem easier, I think, on the coaches to not have to constantly be confronted with, 'Notre Dame this, Notre Dame that; CT this, Connecticut that, ' " Auriemma said.
Auriemma Thursday noted that he and McGraw chatted about their programs' high-level consistency Wednesday night at the NCAA Salute event at the Columbus Museum of Art. "That explains our success, that's the easy answer", said Geno Auriemma, tongue firmly in cheek. We're not going away.
"So in one sense, I'm thrilled that it's at a whole different level". "I think the field is maybe the strongest I've seen in a long, long time, maybe ever".
McGraw said she thinks the rest of the Irish have taken a pretty good look at the December game and gleaned things from it.
"I think we could take a lot from that to see where we went wrong".
And while we won't suggest that has disappeared now that they are no longer in the same conference, the intensity has cooled a bit.
The team that pulled off the big upset in last year's women's Final Four has tipped off another one.
1 Ogunbowale's 20.7 scoring average is a single season Notre Dame record so far, eclipsing the 20.4 standard set by Katryna Gaither during the program's first Final Four campaign in 1996-97.
Interestingly, both coaches said they thought their teams got confidence from that game because of how they played in stretches.
It's a new role that she knew was coming when she transferred but one she was happy to accept.
