ALBANY -- UConn women’s basketball is rarely associated with the term “underdog.” After all, fans and followers of the game not only expect them to win, but to win by a lot.
But now, UConn is the two-seed in the Albany Regional, preparing to face top-seeded Louisville in the Elite Eight. And they’re more than happy to embrace the underdog role.
“Yes, we consider ourselves the underdogs because we’re the number two seed,” Christyn WIlliams said. “We’ve been the underdogs all year, people have underestimated us all year. We’re definitely the underdogs.”
But can UConn really be the underdog?
