    UConn gets exactly what it needs in win over Tennessee (Ep. 160)

    UConn got exactly what it needed in its final non-conference game of the season. The Huskies battled past Tennessee in a win far closer than the final score indicates. They found themselves in their first tight contest since November and had to handle being behind at points in both the second and third quarters. Geno Auriemma also spoke about his late-career evolution, Azzi Fudd has emerged as a complete player and the stretch run of the regular season is on.

    UConn cruises to another top-25 win over Iowa (Ep. 156)

    UConn women’s basketball kept rolling on Saturday, taking care of business against No. 11 Iowa with a 90-64 victory in the Champions Classic at Barclays Center. With the Huskies winning big despite not putting in their best performance, we look for areas they could improve going forward and why they could really benefit from legitimate competition. We also get into the top performers, discuss whether UConn’s point guard play has been up to the par and then create a Christmas wish list for the team.

    UConn crushes USC, is Iowa next? (Ep. 155)

    UConn traveled to coast-to-coast for what seemed primed to be a tough test against USC, only to come out with a blowout victory. The Huskies put together their best performance of the season behind a dominant defensive effort and offensive contributions from across the board. Can they keep it rolling against No. 11 Iowa on Saturday in what will likely be their highest-ranked matchup left in the regular season? Chasing Perfection is presented by the UConn WBB Weekly.

    What to make of UConn's close win over Michigan (Ep. 153)

    Following UConn’s 72-69 win over No. 6 Michigan where it nearly fumbled away a 20-point second half lead, we ask some big questions about the team: Is there a chance the Huskies aren’t as good as we think? Or could the fact that they earned a top-10 win despite all that went wrong show just how good they are? We get into all that and break down what went wrong in the second half. We also recap the much more comfortable win over Utah and look ahead to Xavier and USF. Happy Thanksgiving! Chasing Perfection is presented by the UConn WBB Weekly.
