#BIGEASTwbb Minute: UConn Clinches At Least A Share Of The Regular-Season Title

UConn Locks It Up
No. 15 UConn (23-5, 15-0 BIG EAST) secured at least a share of its 23rd BIG EAST women’s basketball regular-season title with a 73-53 win over No. 21 Creighton (21-4, 12-3) on Monday afternoon. The Huskies improved to 15-0 in BIG EAST play and locked up the No. 1 seed in the upcoming BIG EAST Tournament presented by JEEP. Should UConn lose its final three games of the regular season (at DePaul, Villanova, at Providence) and Creighton win its final three games (Villanova, Xavier, at Seton Hall), the two would share the regular-season crown, while UConn would still earn the No. 1 seed in the conference tourney by way of its season sweep of the Bluejays.
 
#15 UConn 73, #21 Creighton 53  
Paige Bueckers scored 24 points, Aaliyah Edwards added 20 and No. 15 UConn beat No. 21 Creighton 73-53 on Monday afternoon on FOX to secure at least a share of the BIG EAST regular-season title and the top seed in the conference tournament. Ashlynn Shade added 15 points and nine rebounds for the Huskies, who gave coach Geno Auriemma win No. 1,203, moving him past former Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski and into second on the all-time wins list behind Stanford's Tara VanDerveer (1,209). Lauren Jensen had 20 points and Morgan Maly scored 16 for Creighton, which saw its 11-game winning streak snapped. The teams were tied at halftime and Creighton led by five points after a 13-0 run that stretched from the second into the third quarter. But UConn went on a 17-0 run from there, taking its first double-digit lead at 47-36 after a jumper from the foul line by Edwards.
