UCF falls to No. 1 UConn but picks up key lessons from loss

The UCF women's basketball team is learning how to win consistently under first-year coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson.

No. 1 UConn, for the most part, doesn't remember how to lose.

The American Athletic Conference opener for the programs Sunday featured a familiar storyline, with the Huskies throttling the Knights 84-48 at CFE Arena before an announced crowd of 4,539 that included numerous UConn fans and a surprise appearance by former baseball great Darryl Strawberry.

In fairness, few basketball programs in the country have figured out how to stop the Huskies' freight train.
