Heading into the weekend, the participating teams have fared as below: UCF in the WNIT: 2 appearances (2-2) Cincinnati in the WNIT: 7 appearances (2-9) UConn in the NCAA Tournament: 30 appearances (117-18) Houston in the WNIT: 5 appearances (1-6) USF in the NCAA Tournament: 6 appearances (3-6) Featured in the Final Four Friday will mark UConn s 11th-consecutive appearance in the Final Four and 16th trip all-time. In national semifinal and championship games, the Huskies sport an 11-7 all-time record. With two more victories, UConn would collect its 99th and 100th wins, respectively, as the top overall seed in the NCAA Tournament. Rivalry Repeat UConn and Notre Dame will meet for the second time this season, as the Huskies captured an win over the then-no. 3/2 Irish on Dec. 3. It took a comeback for UConn to earn the win, trailing by double-digits in the final quarter until Azura Stevens registered 10 points to keep UConn in contention. The contest marked the last time the Huskies trailed at halftime in a game this season and is one of just two single-digit wins for UConn this season. All-time, UConn owns a advantage against Notre Dame while Friday s winner will hold the NCAA Tournament series advantage with the margin even at 3-3.
