For those keeping count, that means the ACC lost in the national championship game for football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Peerless again.
“It is a bond that is unbreakable”, Stewart said of the trio before the final.
“But we don’t have anybody in the program right now that’s a Stewie or a Tuck or a Moriah coming back”.
We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don’t want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.
“It’s a lot of fun”, said Adam Farber, a freshman. Until now, only the UCLA men’s team had won four in a row in Division I, rolling to seven consecutive championships under John Wooden from 1967-73.
“It’s just so improbable what they did”, said UConn coach Geno Auriemma. We look forward to the many good moments in store for these players as they sharpen their skills and – somehow – improve their level of performance even more.
He won’t forget Stewart anytime soon.
Didn’t everyone about to begin a college basketball career do so with the intention of winning four national titles? Does Auriemma get the next Breanna Stewart, or does some up-and-coming school sell the idea of dethroning the kings to land her instead? “Geno’s a great coach, he knows players and he knows Xs and Os”, one source with knowledge of Auriemma’s thinking said. I had one of the kids in my office – Gabby Williams was in my office last week and she was a little bit emotional talking about next year.
“Stewart is a great player, obviously, and the next time there is one like that in Syracuse, we’re going to get her”, Hillsman said.
Then her narrative stroll came to the final member of a class that won 151 of 156 college games together, including the final 75 games by double digits.
Mission accomplished. The three went 24-0 in NCAA tourney games, too.
“It wasn’t a sense of relief, it was a sense of success”.
It didn’t matter, which team won, one of them was going to make history.
How did UConn win four straight NCAA titles?
The Beavers were making their first appearance in the Final Four. Other teams are coming, she cautioned. Setting the game’s tone, she scored 10 first-quarter points and also, on the defensive end, used a pair of early blocks to discourage SU from going inside as much as it wanted. Napheesa Collier, a freshman guard for UConn who was getting more playing time due to a fractured foot suffered by starter Katie Lou Samuelson in the semifinal, thwarted the rally with a pair of layups to close out the half.
It’s easy to understand why they stayed since the money just isn’t there yet for pros in the women’s game. But these suggestions should be sent To avoid distracting other readers, we won’t publish comments that suggest a correction. The three seniors left to the hugs of coaches and teammates with 1:46 left.
Same thing goes for every team striving to catch UConn. He would be proud that they just finished off their sixth undefeated season, dominating the opposition the way Wooden’s old Bruins used to dominate. “And once we bought into that, it was a great journey to be on”.
The Huskies made college basketball history Tuesday night with their record 11th national championship in a rout of Syracuse. The Orange made it this far to the title game relying on their defensive fortitude, boundless energy and timely three-point shooting.
“Yeah, this is UConn”, Stewart said. In 2014, she played for Team USA in Paris, France (above).
Of course, that UConn team won the national title – in the biggest championship-game blowout of them all. “And you really need to appreciate what these people do every day to make it work”, Auriemma said during a news conference to announce his selection as the Associated Press Coach of the Year.
More than 10,00 students watched the game in Gampel Pavilion Tuesday.

In addition to Stewart, Tuck and Moriah Jefferson were selected to the All-Tournament team, as were Syracuse’s Brittney Sykes and Washington’s Talia Walton.
