It's the showdown we've been waiting for! Nine months after their Elite Eight clash, UConn travels to Los Angeles for a massive rematch against USC. The Trojans are red-hot, protecting an incredible 19-game home winning streak, and this Saturday's game is their ultimate measuring stick. Can they finally grab their second-ever win over the Huskies? We dive deep into the must-watch action at the Galen Center. Get the full scouting report on the phenomenal freshman, Jazzy Davidson. Everything flows through the USC engine, and we break down how disrupting her high-usage game is the key to a UConn victory. Plus, keep an eye on transfer Londynn Jones, the bench spark who can change the game in a single scoring burst. On the Huskies' side, we focus on the crucial internal growth of Kayleigh Heckel. Her development into a multi-dimensional scorer, connector, and stabilizer is exactly what UConn needs to control the chaos in a hostile road environment. We analyze the "Matchup Chessboard": who wins the tempo battle, and can UConn's depth wear down USC late? Finally, we transition to another colossal stage: the Huskies' upcoming regular-season finale against St. John's at Madison Square Garden on March 1st. We discuss why this MSG spotlight matters—exploring the implications for recruiting, national visibility, and whether the women’s game is finally claiming the same "stage gravity" as the men's side. Every game is building toward March, and this episode tracks where the program is positioning itself nationally. #UConnBasketball, #USCTrojans, #WomensCollegeBasketball, #TheHoopsCap, #NCAAW #azzifudd #sarahstrong #bigeastenergy Learn more about your ad choices.

  • MullinsMania runs wild in Allen Fieldhouse , Huskies win 61-56 for their first Program win agains Kansas!
    Dec 3 2025
    UConn walks into Allen Fieldhouse and leaves with its most impressive win of the season. Solo Ball dropped 17, Braylon Mullins matched him with a breakout 17 of his own — including the game-sealing block and free throws — as No. 5 UConn rallied from seven down in the second half to beat No. 21 Kansas 61–56. Eric Reibe added 12, Alex Karaban had 11, and the Huskies held Kansas to two field goals over a 12-minute stretch to completely flip the momentum. Despite missing Tarris Reed Jr., UConn’s defense and poise late were the difference. Kansas was led by Flory Bidunga’s 11 points and 12 boards, but the Jayhawks never got the tying shot they needed — thanks to Mullins’ massive defensive stand in the final 10 seconds. A battle between two six-time national champions lived up to the hype. Another ranked win. Another moment for UConn’s freshmen. Another night where Dan Hurley’s program shows its resilience.

    Dec 3 2025
    UConn looked unbelievable against Xavier — but these dominant performances are expected. The real question? What actually matters when the competition jumps back up to Iowa, USC, Notre Dame, and Tennessee. Mark Zanetto breaks down Allie Ziebell’s breakout, Ashlynn Shade snapping out of her slump, KK Arnold’s elite defense, Sarah Strong’s all-around brilliance, and why Big East play will inflate UConn’s numbers in ways that don’t translate to March.
