UConn March Madness history: Women's NCAA tournament stats - ESPN

Luigi «Geno» Auriemma arrived at UConn in 1985 and promptly transformed the relatively unknown women's basketball program into an absolute force. With the help of all-star players including Rebecca Lobo, Diana Taurasi, Maya Moore and Breanna Stewart, Auriemma made the small community of Storrs, Connecticut, the epicenter of women's college basketball.

Auriemma has posted only one losing season in four decades at the helm of UConn, but it's his teams' dominance in March and April that has had a staggering impact on the record books. Here's a closer look at the success of the UConn women's basketball team in the NCAA tournament over the years:
