UConn Women's Basketball Aiming for Undefeated Season

UConn women's basketball is currently on a remarkable quest for an undefeated season, boasting a 10-0 record as of now. According to The New York Times, the Huskies have already navigated the toughest stretch of their schedule and have earned three Quad 1 wins.

Their next game will be against Iowa on Saturday at 1 p.m. ET, a highly anticipated matchup. UConn has a strong net rating, ranked fifth nationally, and has only five remaining games against top-50 opponents.

The team's standout player, Azzi Fudd, is shooting an impressive 53.1 percent from beyond the arc and is averaging 3.4 three-pointers per game. Fudd's return to form after her ACL injury has been pivotal, allowing her to contribute both offensively and defensively.

The report highlights UConn's defensive prowess, making it difficult for opponents to create high-quality shots. The Huskies are aiming to join the ranks of teams that have completed undefeated seasons, a feat they have achieved six times previously.

UConn's last perfect season was in 2015-16 when Breanna Stewart led the team to its fourth consecutive national title. With the current season defined by parity, the stakes for UConn and its potential undefeated status are higher than ever.
