March Madness is usually a pretty good time to be a UConn Husky. This week, it might feel even better than usual.
In the men’s NCAA basketball tournament, the Huskies advanced to the Final Four with an improbable comeback against No. 1 seed Duke, erasing a 19-point deficit before sealing the deal with a wild sequence in the final 10 seconds. We won’t spoil the ending — more on that in the quiz below — but let’s just say it might have produced the most iconic shot in March Madness history.
The UConn women, meanwhile, have encountered far less drama while blasting their way to the Final Four, beating their four tournament opponents by an average of 35 points per game. Geno Auriemma’s squad, which is 38-0 and seeking its second straight national championship, hasn’t lost a game in nearly 14 months.
So we hope you’ve been watching both tournaments as you dig in to take this week’s quiz, which will also touch on several other happenings across the sports world. Make sure you take time to try out our daily Connections: Sports Edition, too.
