Samuelson rewrites record book as UConn wins another AAC title

There are some thing that defy explanation and what I witnessed in the last two Mondays would certainly qualify of something that would have made for a perfect episode for "Ripley's Believe it or Not" or perhaps the "Twilight Zone."

UConn has had more than its share of remarkable individual performances but in Geno Auriemma's 32 seasons there had been five games when one of his players scored at least 39 points until last Monday night when Napheesa Collier struck for 39 against South Florida. Exactly a week later fellow sophomore Katie Lou Samuelson went on better with 40 points while setting an NCAA Division I women's basketball record by making 10 3-pointers without a miss.
