UConn women’s basketball rides third quarter surge past Indiana and into the Elite Eight

The UConn women’s basketball team went into halftime with a bad taste in its mouth. The Huskies were almost certain they’d take a seven point lead into the locker room until a bizarre sequence in the final seconds gave Indiana one last possession.

Aaliyah Edwards rebounded a miss as the shot clock expired, but the ball bounced off the rim which canceled out any potential violation. However, everyone on the floor stopped at the sound of the buzzer and the clock froze with 1.3 seconds left. Edwards, presumably believing the half had ended or a whistle had been blown, dropped the ball out of bounds.
