COLUMBIA — The top-ranked Connecticut women were at Colonial Life Arena early Monday afternoon, going through their pre-game shootaround in a building which promises to be a bit more raucous with 18,000 people crammed into it at 7 p.m. A curtain separated the playing floor from the lower concourse (which reporters traversed to interview the South Carolina men’s team), but there was no need to peek to know what the Huskies are going to do tonight.
They’re going to run that same, Swiss-watch precision offense they always have under Geno Auriemma, a glorious testament to spacing and exactitude.
