Sports world reacts to UConn winning national championship - ESPN

UConn is back on top — again.

The Huskies emphatically defeated the South Carolina Gamecocks 82-59 on Sunday to win their 12th NCAA women's basketball title, extending their record for most championships of any program.

UConn hadn't won a title since 2016. Sunday's victory snapped the Huskies' longest championship drought since the program's first title in 1995. UConn also became the first team to beat three No. 1 seeds in a single NCAA tournament.

Azzi Fudd led the Huskies with 24 points, while Sarah Strong recorded a 24-point, 15-rebound double-double. She also had five assists, becoming the the first player to record 20 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists in a national championship game. Paige Bueckers had 17 points. South Carolina shot just 34.4 percent from the field.

Here's how the sports world reacted to UConn's national championship.
