Hey, Hoophead!

And then there were two. Women’s basketball is officially down to just two undefeated teams: Vanderbilt and UConn. Texas Tech’s historic run finally came to an end, snapping the streak. It was a packed day across the sport, though, surprisingly, two teams never made it onto the court.
