UConn women’s basketball suffered its first loss of the season on Sunday, falling victim to an upset at the hands of unranked NC State, 92-81.
The Huskies were torched defensively — 92 points are the most the Huskies have allowed since a 2001 defeat to Tennessee while Saniya Rivers became the first opponent to total 30 points, 10 rebounds and five assists against UConn in the last 25 years, according to ESPN’s Alexa Philippou. The Wolfpack had more points on Sunday than they had in the 2022 Elite Eight meeting with the Huskies — which went to double overtime.
