"Sarah Strong, still just a sophomore, has already established herself as one of the Huskies' all-time greats. She enters the Big East tournament averaging 18.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists and a conference-best 3.2 steals while shooting an unbelievably efficient 59.5 percent from the field."
"Flanking Strong is perhaps college basketball's best shooter, Azzi Fudd, who's sinking a career-high 45.1 percent of her 3-pointers; she averages 6.9 attempts per game. The senior guard is also a stellar defender, ranking third on the team in steals with 78 over 31 games."
"The Huskies have beaten every Big East opponent by double digits, with a 14-point win over Villanova on Feb. 18 standing out as the 'closest' result. By all means, UConn should roll through this tournament."
The 2026 Big East women's basketball tournament takes place March 6-9 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut, with undefeated UConn positioned as the clear favorite. The Huskies have won all five Big East tournaments since rejoining the conference in 2020 and hold a record 23 tournament titles overall. UConn's dominance stems from exceptional individual performances and team depth. Sophomore Sarah Strong averages 18.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 4.3 assists while shooting 59.5 percent from the field. Senior Azzi Fudd, one of college basketball's premier shooters, makes 45.1 percent of her three-pointers. The Huskies have defeated every Big East opponent by double digits, establishing themselves as the tournament's overwhelming favorite heading into March Madness.
