TAMPA, Fla. — The future of UConn women’s basketball was on full display during Sunday’s national championship with freshman Sarah Strong’s performance. The Huskies took an 82-59 win over South Carolina, capturing their first national title since 2016, while she casually dropped 24 points and 15 rebounds.
That performance also helped her set an NCAA record for points by a freshman in a single tournament with a total of 114 points. Coincidentally, Strong committed to UConn exactly a year before cutting down the net.

“Bicho” is Feaster’s nickname for Strong. The rest of the phrase translates to “they can’t stop you.” Feaster mostly cheers on her daughter in Spanish, which she half-jokingly said was on purpose so nobody could understand what she says.
