It remains one of the great what-if moments in Toledo women’s basketball history.
Actually, make that sports history.
Thirty years ago this week, Toledo and the University of Connecticut played a down-to-the-wire thriller in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
The game may not have registered nationally at the time, seeing as the two upstart programs with young coaches — Bill Fennelly on one side, Geno Auriemma on the other — had one career tournament win between them. But what happened in the final seconds that night in Storrs, Conn., is still both resonant and a source of great debate.
