The Connecticut women's basketball team continued its dominance Saturday with a record-setting 140-52 victory over St. Francis in the first round of the 2018 NCAA tournament.
ESPN Stats & Info provided a look at all the new marks set by UConn in the Huskies' blowout of the Red Flash at Harry A. Gampel Pavilion in Storrs, Connecticut:
ESPN Stats & Info@ESPNStatsInfoUConn finishes with 140 points, a single-game school and NCAA Women's Tournament record. @UConnWBB's 88-point win is the 2nd-largest in NCAA Men's or Women's Tournament history, behind @BaylorWBB's 89-point win against Texas Southern last year. https://t.co/bFcFpYOk7R
About 12 hours after the greatest upset in the history of the men's version of March Madness—16th-seeded UMBC crushing top overall seed Virginia—the UConn women quickly made sure there would be no repeat performance in the women's bracket.
The Huskies put up 55 points in the 10-minute first quarter, more than St. Francis scored in the entire game.
Connecticut shot 64.8 percent from the field, recorded 38 assists on 59 made field goals, won the rebounding battle 69-30 and held the Red Flash to 22.2 percent shooting.
Unfortunately, the Huskies, through no fault of their own, have taken virtually all of the intrigue out of the women's tournament by being so good.
The first round is still being contested, and they already possess a 77 percent chance to win the national championship, per FiveThirtyEight. For comparison, the top remaining team on the men's side, Villanova, only has a 20 percent shot to cut down the nets.
Next up for the Huskies will be either Miami or Quinnipiac in the second round Monday.
