The UConn women’s basketball team’s<\/a> quest to 40-0 ended on Friday after one of their worst performances in recent memory.<\/p>\n

Winning each of its first 38 games of the season, the Huskies were outscored by 16 points in the final 20 minutes to fall to fellow No. 1 seed South Carolina<\/a>, 62-48, in the Final Four.<\/p>\n

The bout was a rematch of last year’s national championship, which the Huskies won for a storybook ending to UConn alum Paige Bueckers’ career.<\/p>\n

It’s the fourth time in the last five years that the Gamecocks are back in the national championship, while the Huskies had won 54 straight dating back to last year.<\/p>\n

Ta\u2019Niya Latson scored 16 points, and Agot Makeer added 14 with South Carolina playing stifling defense. UConn (38-1) entered the Final Four undefeated for the ninth time in school history, and for the third straight time left without a title. The Huskies also lost in the 2017 and 2018 national semifinals.<\/p>\n

This was the fewest points UConn had scored since putting up 49 points in a national championship game loss to the Gamecocks in 2022.<\/p>\n

Leading 46-44 a few minutes into the third quarter, South Carolina scored five straight points, capped by Agot Makeer\u2019s 3-pointer to extend the advantage to seven.<\/p>\n

UConn’s Sarah Strong hit a 3-pointer to get the Huskies back within 51-47 with 4:39 left, but the Huskies didn’t score again until Strong hit a free throw with 30.8 seconds left, after South Carolina had scored 11 straight points.<\/p>\n

Strong, who was honored as the AP Player of the Year on Thursday, had 12 points and 12 rebounds, but went 4 for 16 from the field. Azzi Fudd had just eight points for the Huskies, making only 3-of-15 shots.<\/p>\n

UConn had its worst shooting night of the season, finishing 19 for 61 (31.1%) from the field.<\/p>\n

The game was headlined by a heated postgame exchange<\/a> between coaches Geno Auriemma and Dawn Staley.<\/p>\n

The Gamecocks will now face UCLA on Sunday for the national championship.<\/p>\n
