Geno Auriemma’s UConn Huskies made the Final Four again last season, extending their streak of consecutive semifinals appearances to 12 seasons. However, the Huskies came up short against Notre Dame in the Final Four and would not get a shot at adding to their collection of national championships.
UConn lost Napheesa Collier and Katie Lou Samuelson, but Auriemma brings back Crystal Dangerfield and reloaded with transfers and a strong recruiting class. Can UConn extend their Final Four streak? Can they win another national championship? It all starts in November.

Notable games
Dec. 8 vs. Notre Dame — We’re getting a Final Four rematch early. These two teams have been rivals going back to their days in the old Big East and the fire is still there. Both Notre Dame and UConn will be having transition seasons of sort and the starting lineups in this game will look very different from what we saw in Tampa last April. The Irish lost all five starters from last season’s team to the WNBA, but like the Huskies, Muffet McGraw has reloaded with a top recruiting class and a few transfers. As always, this game is a must-watch.
Jan. 9 vs. Baylor — The Huskies will host the reigning national champions at the XL Center in Hartford. Baylor brings back three of five starters from its national championship team, including Lauren Cox, DiDi Richards and Juicy Landrum. Baylor won this regular season match-up by 11 points last season in Waco, Texas.
Feb. 3 vs. Oregon — That’s right; the Huskies are going to play every other team that was in last year’s Final Four in the regular season. The Huskies will have their hands full in this match-up with early Player of the Year favorite Sabrina Ionescu coming to town. UConn did win this game handily in 2017, 90-52.
