Former Big East foes Syracuse Orange and Connecticut Huskies to meet in Tuesday's title game

INDIANAPOLIS -- Former Big East foes, Connecticut and Syracuse have played 49 times, and it occasionally got a tad testy between these programs. But who foresaw them meeting in the women's basketball national championship game?

That's what we'll have Tuesday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The Huskies pounded Oregon State in Sunday's first semifinal, 80-51. Then the nightcap was nearly as one-sided, with the Orange beating Washington 80-59.
