1 Notre Dame 53 vs 1 UConn 63

Geno Auriemma won his 10th national title Tuesday night as the UConn Huskies ended their dominant season with a 63-53 win over fellow 1 seed Notre Dame to win the 2015 NCAA women’s basketball championship this ties Geno with men’s coach John Wooden as the only 2 collegiate basketball coaches with 10 titles.

“Obviously, it’s a very significant number because that’s the number that’s been out there and people want to talk about it. I’ll be the first to say I’m not John Wooden, and I got a bunch of friends who’d tell you I’m right, I’m not,” Auriemma said. “As I said the other day, I just think what we’ve done here in the last 20 years is pretty remarkable in its own right.

Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis and Moriah Jefferson each scored 15 points for the hall of fame coached Huskies. It was UConn’s third straight title. 2 time AP Player Of The Year Breanna Stewart added 15 rebounds and eight points for the Huskies (who finished 38-1 on the year) and was named Final Four Most Outstanding Player for the third time, being the only women to do so ( Kareem Abdul-Jabbar achieved the same feat on the men’s side)

“There just hasn’t been a player like Stewie in the women’s game in a long, long time,” Auriemma said. “She might be two inches taller than Cheryl Miller and Cheryl Miller was one of best players I saw. … Stewie’s the kind of player that women’s basketball probably hasn’t seen.” (quote via espn.go.com)

Stewart could be the the first to win 4 straight NCAA titles.

“I think it’s really surreal and I haven’t had a chance to even think about that,” said Stewart I’ve won three national championships but said I wanted to win four. You can’t win four without winning three first.”

It was heartbreak city for Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw who has taken the Irish to 4 title games in 5 years… and lost all 4 including the last two to that very same Huskie team.
