The Huskies have won nine titles overall and a victory on Tuesday would tie head coach Geno Auriemma with UCLA men's coach John Wooden for the most all-time with 10. It would also be the second three-peat for UConn, which won three straight championships from 2002-04.



Maryland trailed by three midway through the first half, 22-19, before UConn scored seven straight points to make it a 10-point game. Tuck scored the final five points of the stanza to give the Huskies a double-digit lead heading into the break.
