THE BATTAL
Connecticut wins NCAA till
Huskies down Oklahoma to cap undefeated seasol
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Not even an
imperfect game could keep Connecticut
from a perfect season.
Surviving an uncharacteristic rash of
turnovers and poor outside shooting with
strong inside play, the Huskies beat
Oklahoma 82-70 on Sunday night for their
third national championship.
The frontcourt trio of Swin Cash, Asjha
Jones and Tamika Williams led the Huskies
(39-0) to an overwhelming rebounding
advantage — and on this night, they sure
needed it.
Connecticut won by big margins all sea
son by wearing down opponents.
Oklahoma (32-4) refused to let that happen.
Trailing by 16 early in the second half,
Oklahoma got to within six with a little
more than two minutes left. Things like that
did not happen to the Huskies this season,
but they responded.
But Diana Taurasi converted a key
three-point play and player of the year Sue
Bird wrapped it up with six straight free
throws. With 18 seconds left. Bird was able
to dribble out the clock and the Huskies
had their title.
Connecticut committed 21 turnovers,
two short of its season high, and was 0-
for-9 on 3-point shots. All that did was
force the Huskies to find another way to
win it, and they did by overpowering the
Sooners inside.
Cash was the strongest presence with 20
points and 13 rebounds. Jones had 19
points, nine rebounds and five blocks.
Williams finished with 23 points and nine
rebounds.
Cash was selected the outstanding player
in the Final Four.
Oh, and don’t forget the guards. Bird
had 14 points and four assists and made all
eight of her free throws. Taurasi added 13
points and got the honor of heaving the ball
into the stands when it was over.
Oklahoma showed its resiliency by mak
ing it a game after a poor start. All-
American Stacey Dales led the Sooners
with 18 points. Rosalind Ross scored 17
and LaNeishea Caufield had 14.
But the Sooners could not overcome
their 39 percent shooting and Connecticut's
44-25 rebounding advantage.
Connecticut led by 12 at halftime and
stretched the lead to 54-38 when Taurasi
scored less than six minutes into the second
half. A blowout looked imminent, but
Oklahoma did not let it happen.
Dales and Ross each hit a 3-pointer, and
the Sooners started to battle their way back.
Jamie Talbert’s rebound basket cut the
lead to 66-57 and it was 71-63 after Caton
Hill’s 3-pointer. And the Sooners kept com
ing, twice getting to within six, the last time
on Dales' layup with 2:15 to play.

That was as close as it would get.
Taurasi muscled in a shot while drawing
the fifth foul on Dales and sank the free
throw to make it 76-67. Then Connecticut

WASHINGTON (AP)
After a loss to the Dallas
Mavericks, coach Doug
Collins said his Washington
Wizards could not have played
any better. Michael Jordan
didn’t quite agree.
The Wizards played the
Mavericks tight until Steve Nash
made back-to-back long
jumpers, a three-point play and
two more free throws in the final
three minutes of the Mavericks’
1 10-103 victory Sunday.
“We have an 'L' to show for
it, but I sure don’t feel like we
lost,” Collins said. “That might
sound crazy, but I sure don’t
walk away from this building
feeling like we lost. That’s as
good as we can play.”
Jordan, once again playing
as a reserve as he recovers from
knee surgery, made just 4 of 14
shots to score 10 points with
five assists in 28 minutes.
Unlike recent games, Collins
didn’t use Jordan much as a
point guard, and Jordan hinted
that move by the coach might
have made the difference.
“In the past, I could utilize
myself a little better playing
point guard,” Jordan said. “1
didn’t do that as much tonight.
He may have used me up a lit
tle, and hopefully in the upcom
ing games 1 can play a little bit
more point guard where I can
control the tempo and not really
use my minutes or my energy
up trying to get shots. I can cre
ate shots for other guys.”
Jordan, put on the spot by
Collins last week over whether he
plans to play next year, returned
the favor by putting the onus on
Collins for the upcoming rough
schedule that starts with
Tuesday’s game against the Los
Angeles Lakers. The Wizards
trail Indiana by 2 1/2 games in the
battle for the final playoff spot in
the Eastern Conference.
“It’s going to be a tough
stretch, four games in five
nights,” Jordan said. L
