UConn's record 111-game winning streak came to a startling end when Mississippi State pulled off perhaps the biggest upset in women's basketball history, stunning the Huskies 66-64 on Morgan William's overtime buzzer beater in the national semifinals Friday night.

The Mississippi State Bulldog Ladies Basketball team pulled off a Miracle-on-Icesque upset when they defeated the UConn Huskies tonight 66-64 in Overtime.

The Dike has been broken?

Good. I love when the underdog wins.

Sick of UCONN gloating.

Congrats Bulldog Ladies! Job well done.

My State FB friends and I are very happy tonight. I was at State during the Babe era. Dak was at game and he was, too. Even my Ole Miss friends are happy and that is very unusual. Friends on FB were posting Keep Believing signs before the game.

I've watched several of the tournament games and Uconn relies on getting to the free throw line about 10 more attempts minimally against their opponents....its a learned tactic...

congrats to the MSU ladies....

its not good to have one team always being the champion....

now we know they can be beat...

[Daffynition]

I have no idea what you are talking about. Babe? Dak? :D

I don’t follow sports, especially UCONN; and am prolly the only person in the state who doesn’t follow them.

Good for your team!

WOW

[Daffynition]

Crying towels & excuses will be at a premium tomorrow. Meh.

This is VERY good for women’s basketball. When the outcome of tournaments seems monotonously predetermined, people refuse to watch. I know. I am a big sports fan, but have avoided the ladies’ march badness for that reason.

There will now be more interest, I predict. I wish I’d have been watching this one.

No, you’re not.

[Daffynition]

OK...there are 2 of us! LOL

IMO UCONN is a huge waste. Their budget, overpaid corrupt staff [from the top down]; sport program. How about producing world-class scholars?

At least, their ice cream is awesome! I’ll give them that. :)

So now it comes down to Sunday at 6:00 on ESPN. This season’s match up history;

On 03/05/17 in the SEC tourney vs.Mississippi State, Gamecocks beat them 59-49.

They make ice cream? Where? Do they have a bunch of unpaid interns in the basement of the gym mixing flavors?

[Daffynition]

I shouldn’t tell you.

But since you’re such a goodguy.... the UCONN dairy barn, Horsebarn Hill Rd, Storrs; I think they close at 7pm [winter], will open to 10 or 11 after semester ends. Cash only. Worth a trip. :)

Ice cream made on site, from voag-dept cows. Been going there since I was a mere child. Their cage-free eggs are nice and fresh.

They even sell *true* half-gallons of their ice cream. :P

At one time, the vo-ag program at UCONN was a premier education. It started as an ag school in the 1880s.

Now it’s all about drinking and sports.

Go for the ice cream. Stay for the ice cream. :P

[matt04]

There are 3 of us. I never watched, because I knew they would win and gloat we won X straight games.

No man will be asked to plug the hole......

[Psalm 73]

That's a smear unworthy of a Freeper.
There are a lot of female athletes that are not homosexuals, and insinuating differently is grossly unfair to the girls that just want to compete in a sport they love.

Don't be a shallow thinker.

[BillyBonebrake]

Wow. So glad about this. Not a hoops fan but live in CT. UConn womens’ fans are an annoying lot. Think rabid Hillary fans.
