The 2014–15 UConn Huskies women's basketball team represented the University of Connecticut (UConn) in the 2014–15 NCAA Division I basketball season. The Huskies, led by thirtieth-year head coach Geno Auriemma, play their home games at the Harry A. Gampel Pavilion in Storrs, Connecticut. The Huskies defeated the Notre Dame Fighting Irish to win their third consecutive NCAA championship.

This was UConn's second season as a member of the American Athletic Conference, known as The American or AAC. The Huskies entered the season as the two-time defending national champions. The 2014–15 Huskies repeated last year's success in The American by winning the regular season championship outright. They placed an 18–0 record in the 2014–15 regular season and a 3–0 record in the 2014–15 AAC Tournament. They are a combined 42–0 (including AAC tournament wins) over two years in the conference. The closest game between the Huskies and another AAC opponent over the last two years was this year's AAC tournament championship between #1 seed UConn and #2 seed South Florida. UConn won 84–70 to win its second straight AAC tournament championship.

Off-season

FIBA
Connecticut basketball players, past present and future, were active in FIBA events during 2014. Katie Lou Samuelson has a verbal commitment to Connecticut, and played on two USA squads over the summer. In June, she played for the USA under 17 team which competed in the 2014 FIBA U17 World Championship For Women. The official events were held in Klatovy and Plzeň, Czech Republic, although some  friendlies were played in Nogent-sur-Seine, France. Samuelson helped the team to a 7–0 record to win the gold medal, and earned a spot on the all-tournament team.

Samuelson, along with future Huskies teammates De'janae Boykin and Napheesa Collier, made up three of the four players on the U18 3x3 team invited to play at the Youth Olympic Games, held in Nanjing, China 16–28 August 2014. Samuelson had turned an ankle, and was unable to play in some games, forcing her three teammates to play without substitution in some games. Despite the challenge the team won all nine matches to finish with a perfect record and the gold medal for the event. Samuelson competed in the shoot out event, one of the individuals skills competition, placing third out of 158 contestants to win the bronze medal.

Collier was one of the twelve players selected to play on the USA team invited to play at the 2014 FIBA Americas U18 Championship held in Colorado Springs, Colorado from August 6–10. In the game against the undefeated team from Canada, Collier was the leading scorer, recording a double-double with 22 points and 10 rebounds. The team went on to win all five games, earning the gold medal for the event, and an automatic bid to the U18 Championships in 2015, scheduled to be held in Russia.

Kia Nurse played on the Canadian national team in the 2014 FIBA World Championship. The team lost to Australia in the quarterfinals, then beat France and China to finish in fifth place. Nurse averaged almost 22 minutes per game at the point guard position, averaging almost seven points per games, fourth most on the roster,  while being the youngest player on the roster.

The United States women's national basketball team participated in the 2014 FIBA World Championship in Turkey. Auriemma served as the head coach of the team, which won all six games to win the World Championship and the gold medal. Current and former UConn players on the team included:
 Breanna Stewart
 Sue Bird
 Diana Taurasi
 Tina Charles
 Maya Moore

Moore was named the MVP of the tournament.

Roster changes
Stefanie Dolson and Bria Hartley were selected in the first round of the draft in consecutive picks. Dolson was chosen 6th, by the Washington Mystics. Hartley was the next player chosen, initially by the Seattle Storm, but traded an hour later to Washington, so the teammates continue to be teammates.

Briana Banks chose to transfer to Penn State University, where she will have one year of eligibility remaining.

The team has four incoming freshman and one incoming transfer. Natalie Butler is a 6' 5" center from Virginia who played for Georgetown last season before deciding to transfer to Connecticut. Per NCAA rules she will have to sit out one season, and will be eligible to play in the 2015–16 season. Sadie Edwards is from Meriden Connecticut and played one year in Middletown Connecticut before transferring to Blair Academy in New Jersey, although in early December, she chose to leave the team, with plans to transfer to another school. Courtney Ekmark is from Phoenix Arizona, although played for nationally ranked St. Mary's in California, winning three state titles and one national championship. Her family moved to Arizona, and she completed her last year of school as a home schooled student. Kia Nurse is from Hamilton, Ontario and earned a spot on the national team of Canada. She will be playing against her future coach when the USA National team plays an exhibition game against the Canadian National team in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Connecticut's Geno Auriemma is the head coach of the USA national team. Gabby Williams is from Sparks, Nevada and is a track star as well as a basketball player. She finished fifth in the 2012 U.S. Olympic trials for the high jump at the age of 15, although she is planning to concentrate on basketball rather than track in college. The incoming class of freshman was ranked fourth by ESPN.

Roster

Games

Exhibition games

West Chester University
UConn opened their season with an exhibition game against West Chester University, the alma mater of head coach Geno Auriemma. All twelve players received playing time, and all twelve scored. None played more than 26 minutes, as all got a chance to play against someone other than their teammates in months. All five starters scored in double digits, as well as freshman Kia Nurse, who scored 12 points. Kiah Stokes recorded seven blocks in addition to 13 points. The Huskies hit all but two of their first fifteen field goal attempts to open up a 40–10 lead. The final score reflected the mismatch in talent, with UConn winning 115–26.

Post University
The second exhibition game was played against Division II Post University. Last year's player of the year Stewart scored 27 points to lead the scoring for the Huskies, one of five players with double-digit scoring. Stokes had a double-double with 15 points and 14 rebounds, while Tuck came off the bench to record her own double-double, with 22 points and 15 rebounds. The tone of the game was set early: UConn scored the first nine points, then after giving up one basket, scored 15 straight. The final score, in favor of the Huskies, was 114–44.

Regular season games

UC Davis

For the first time in 15 year, the Huskies opened their season on the road, playing their first game in California, the home state of Mosqueda-Lewis. The arena set an all-time record for attendance at a women's basketball game. Mosqueda-Lewis had 25 friends and family members in the stands, who came to cheer her on. She gave them plenty to cheer about, tying the school record for three-pointers made in a game with Maya Moore. Both hit ten three-pointers. The Huskies hit their first four shots of the game, all three-pointers, but UC Davis hung in there for some time, until the Huskies started a long run. They scored the final 23 points of the first half, and continued with the first 16 points of the second half, to complete a 39–0 run, believed to be one of the longest in NCAA history. Mosqueda-Lewis went to the bench for the final 11:31 after tying the record.

Stanford
UConn's second trip on the west coast trip was against Stanford, the number six team in the country. Stanford had stopped UConn's 90 game winning streak, the longest in NCAA history in 2010. The Huskies were bringing in a 47-game winning streak to this contest. However, after tying a UConn record days earlier, Mosqueda-Lewis did not score for the first three-quarters of the game. UConn built a ten-point lead with under seven minutes to go, but gave it up, allowing Amber Orrange to hit a three-pointer with 1.4 seconds to go in the game to send the game to overtime. Tuck and Nurse fouled out, and the Cardinals outscored the Huskies in the overtime period to take the win 88–86, and end the winning streak.

Creighton
The loss to Stanford brought back interest in one of the more unusual streaks in sports—the number of game since the team lost back-to-back games. The last time UConn lost back to back games was on the 7th and 17 March 1993. Thirteen days before the oldest current UConn player, Kiah Stokes, was born, so not a single player of the team was alive when it happened. The men's head coach, Kevin Ollie was a junior in high school.

Mosqueda-Lewis was out with the flu, so Morgan Tuck started in her place. Freshman Kia Nurse has been playing so well, she earned her first start. Nurse delivered, hitting six of seven field goal attempts, including all four three-point attempts, and ended with 22 points. Tuck also did well, with 15 points and seven rebounds.

It was the first home game for the Huskies, so the players were presented with their National Championship rings in a brief ceremony before the game. As well as Nurse and Tuck played, Stewart still out-did them, going ten for ten from the field, only one basket removed from an 11 for 11 performance by Rebecca Lobo in 1994. Connecticut won 96–60, extending the streak without back-to-back losses to 775.

College of Charleston

Connecticut traveled to Florida, to take part in the Gulf Coast Showcase Tournament. Mosqueda-Lewis returned to the starting line-up. Tuck stayed in the starting group, replacing Stokes, while Nurse also remained as a starter. Connecticut scored eight points before Charleston managed to score, and the game was never close. The Huskies held a 50–13 lead at halftime, then held Charleston scoreless for six and a half minutes in the second half.

The final score was 85–24, with Mosqueda-Lewis leading the scoring with 21 points.

Vanderbilt

Saddled with early fouls, the Huskies needed to look for offence beyond reigning national player of the year Stewart, and once again Nurse and Tuck stepped up, each scoring 16 points, and probably securing their position in the starting line-up. All five starters scored in double digits, as UConn pulled out to a 53–27 lead at halftime, and coasted to a 91–52 win. The win set up a match with the other semi-final winner, Green Bay.

Green Bay

The Green Bay Phoenix were not in awe of the Huskies as they opened up a 9–3 lead early in the game. UConn responded with a 10–0 run, but Green Bay refused to wilt, and tied the game at 26 points each. The Huskies went on an 11–0 run, and went to halftime with an eleven points, lead, but it wasn't until the opening of the second half, starting with a UConn 14–2 run, that the result seemed assured. Five UConn players reached double digits in scoring. Jefferson was the scoring leader with 19. Stewart followed with 17. Connecticut won 89–53, to win the tournament championship.

Nurse's 16 points, coupled with her results in the first two games, were enough to earn her the Most Valuable Player of the Gulf Coast Showcase Tournament.

Notre Dame
Notre Dame and Jewell Loyd were unstoppable for the first ten minutes of the game, building to a 28–18 lead on perfect, six for six shooting from Loyd. Then they were stopped, as UConn went on a 22–4 run to take an eight-point halftime lead. The Irish missed 18 of 19 shots during one stretch. Tuck provided much of the offense, scoring a career-high 25 points, along with nine rebounds. Stokes was a defensive presence, with 18 rebounds. Kiah would stay for the second game to watch her brother, Darius, play in a men's game between Notre Dame and Fairleigh Dickenson. UConn won 76–58, ending Notre Dame's home winning streak of 34 games, at the time, the longest active streak in the country.

The Huskies would meet them again in the national title game in Tampa, Florida.

DePaul
UConn ended an almost two-week hiatus with a game against 25th ranked DePaul in Bridgeport CT. The rust was evident early, as DePaul hit early shots and held even with the Huskies. Almost eight minutes into the game, the score was tied at 24 points for each team. Then UConn, led by Stewart, opened up a 20-point lead. DePaul's Hrnko had 17 points, but was more than matched by Stewart's 25 points along with double-digit scoring by Nurse, Tuck, Mosqueda-Lewis and Williams. Stokes had three of the team's five blocks. The Huskies went on to win 98–68.

UCLA
UConn played another "home" game, this time at the Mohegan Sun Arena against UCLA. The Bruins clung to a slim 4–2 lead at the first media timeout, but Nurse and Stewart then went to work, opening up a ten-point lead, which expanded to 20 before settling back to a 15-point halftime lead. UCLA played even with UConn for the opening of the second half, but then the Huskies got going again and won 86–50. Kiah Stokes's father, Greg Stokes told his daughter he scrapped his Christmas list and all he wanted was a double-double. Kiah scored ten points and recorded her tenth rebound with a minute to go to give her father his Christmas gift.

SMU (home)
UConn played the conference opener against Southern Methodist University, but the story was more about other issues than the game result, which was won easily by the Huskies 96–45. Jefferson had been struggling in recent games, with only 11 games in the prior three games, and ended with a career-high 24 points. Mosqueda-Lewis hit three three-pointers to reach a career total of 311, tying her with Maya Moore for second place among UConn players. The win improved coach Auriemma's lifetime record to 888–134 for a winning percentage of 86.888% moving him ahead of second place Leon Barmore, whose winning percentage had been the best in Division I women's basketball at 86.878%

Duke
In the prior seven games between Duke and UConn, the Huskies had won by almost 29 points per game. When they met on the 29th of December, the Blue Devils had a two-point lead 13 minutes into the game, and while the Huskies went on a run to take a lead, the halftime margin was only seven points. A win would still be a challenge, but surely it would not be a blowout. However, the Huskies pulled away in the second half, and ended up with a 31-point victory, 83–52. The teams have played each other since 2010, but Duke declined to renew the contract. Jefferson led the Huskies with 18 points, while the other four starters all scored in double digits.

East Carolina (away)
UConn played its first conference road game on New Year's Eve against East Carolina. The Huskies had a number of turnovers, and other miscues promoting Coach Auriemma to declare at halftime that in 30 years of coaching, he had never seen a worse half of basketball by his team. UConn led by 23 points at the time. The team responded in the second half, scoring 15 consecutive points to start the half. Ekmark played in the second half, her first time on the court since a stress reaction in November. UConn went on to rout them 89–23.

St. John's
On the first Sunday of the New Year, the Huskies participated in the Maggie Dixon Classic, played in Madison Square Garden as a memorial to Maggie Dixon the former head coach of the Army women's basketball team. This was the ninth such event; the first was held at Christl Arena, Army's arena, while the last eight have been played in Madison Square Garden. This is the fourth time that Connecticut has been a participant.

The event is usually a double-header, typically involving Division I teams. However, because 2015 is the 40th anniversary of the first women's basketball game to be played in Madison Square Garden, the original participants made up the opening game. Division II's Queens College took on Division III's Immaculata University in a rematch of a game played on 22 February 1975. The original game was won 65–61 by Immaculata. The rematch was won by Queens 76–60.

In the second game, UConn faced St. John's. Tuck had 23 points, Stewart had 18 and Jefferson scored 16 in a 70–54 victory over the Red Storm.

Tulsa (home)
The most noteworthy event in the game against Tulsa was not the score or the outcome, but a three-point shot by Mosqueda-Lewis, which tied her with Diana Taurasi for the most three-pointers in a UConn career. She hit her 318th three early in the second half. Jefferson continued her hot shooting with eight for nine from the field, finishing with 22 points, and Tuck was close behind with 21. Nurse and Williams each added 15 points, while Stokes continued her penchant for blocks with seven. Ekmark hit her first three-pointer of her career.

SMU (away)

The outcome of the game wasn't the main story. Early in the first half, Mosqueda-Lewis hit a three-pointer, something she has accomplished many times in the past. In fact, it was the 319th time in her UConn career that she has hit a three-pointer, and that placed her in first place among all UConn players. A few days earlier, she tied then went ahead of Maya Moore. Recently she tied, and now has pulled ahead of Diana Taurasi previously the holder of the record for three-pointers by a UConn women's basketball player. The game ball was presented to her at the next home game. In addition to setting the record, the UConn team defeated SMU by a score of 87–28.

Temple (home)
The game against Temple was not as lopsided at the game against SMU, but it was never a contest. UConn scored 36 points in the paint before the Owls scored their first two in the paint. The Huskies had 55 points at halftime, and would need only three more to match the Temple score. It was another strong game for Tuck, who had 20 points in the first half. She played limited minutes in the second half due to the large lead. The Huskies ended up with the win 92–58.

South Florida (home)
South Florida is in second place in the American Conference, and came to Connecticut knowing they were underdogs, but believing they could compete. It dod not take long to change that impression. The Huskies scored the first nine points of the game, then had a 12–0 run to extend the lead to 19 points. As if that wasn't enough, Connecticut later held the South Florida team scoreless for over eight minutes while scoring 17 points. Mosqueda-Lewis was the leading scorer with 18 points, followed closely by Stewart with 17. UConn went on to win 92–50.

UCF (away)
UConn traveled to Orlando to take on the Central Florida Knights, the only scheduled regular season meeting of the two teams. The game result was never in doubt as the Huskies had a 61–18 lead at the half, hitting over 70% of their field goal attempts. The game was tied at two points each, but Connecticut scored the next ten points to set the tone for the game. Mosqueda-Lewis was the leading scorer for the Huskies with 23 points, hitting five of her seven three-point attempts. The final score was 100–45.

Cincinnati (away)
UConn played the first of their two regular season games against Cincinnati at their home court. The Bearcats are coached by former stand-out player for UConn and long time assistant coach Jamelle Elliot. Auriemma has not yet lost a game to a coach who was a former player or assistant, and this would be no different. Mosqueda-Lewis hit all four of her field goals attempts in the first half, two of which were outside the three-point line on her way to 19 points for the game, which moved her ahead of Svetlana Abrosimova into tenth place on the all-time UConn scoring list. Only one starter played more than 19 minutes, as the Huskies won easily 96–31.

East Carolina (away)
East Carolina came to play UConn for the first time in Connecticut on 28 January 2015. The story line of the game wasn't the result, which the Huskies won easily 87–32, but a rare triple-double for a UConn player. Kiah Stokes was close to a triple double when assistant coach Maria Moseley urged her to get another block, a rebound, and some points. She managed to pick up the block and rebound on the same play, blocking a shot and retaining possession for a rebound but she didn't score her tenth point until there were 33 seconds left in the game, when Briana Pulido fed her a pass and she put in the layup to complete a triple double, with ten points, eleven rebounds and a school record ten blocks.

Temple (away)
UConn played the second of their two games against Temple at their McGonigle Hall. Temple started out positively, scoring the first five points, and still holding an 8–4 lead when UConn went on an 8–0 run to take the lead. The game was still close when Chong and Nurse hit consecutive three-pointers to open up a larger lead. The Huskies went on to win 83–49.

Cincinnati (home)
UConn started out slowly, falling behind 5–0 for the second game in a row. The tide turned quickly, as the Huskies scored the next 15 points, and later in the half went on a 22–0 run to ensure that the outcome was never in doubt. The win was the 900th for Head Coach Auriemma and Associate head Coach Chris Dailey. They reached this win in game 1034, the fastest to 900 for any basketball coach. He is now tied for fifth place on the list of all-time women's basketball wins. His winning percentage is 87%, the best among all coaches, active or retired.

Williams came off the bench to score a career-high 18 points, and lead all scorers. The final was, in favor of Connecticut, was 96–36. The team celebrated by donning T-shirts with "Geno Never Stops" on one side and 900 on the other side. They wore homemade glasses featuring the number 900.

Memphis (away)
Auriemma was not happy with the way the team was starting games, having fallen behind early in the prior two games and not playing up to his expectations in the early part of the game against Memphis, so he decided to bench both Stewart and Tuck a few minutes into the game. Stokes also saw limited action. Auriemma explained "There’s a certain level of play that I've been accustomed to at Connecticut, and if you’re not there then you’re not playing." Stewart and Tuck remained on the bench for the rest of the game, while the remaining players cruised to an 80–34 win over the Tigers.

South Carolina (home)
On the ninth of February, the second ranked Huskies hosted the nation's top ranked team, the South Carolina Gamecocks. The weather was cold, blowing and snowy, with treacherous driving conditions. The arena was sold-out. A few hundred ticket-holders chose not to attend, but turned their tickets in to be given to students.

Jefferson opened the scoring with a three-point basket, but South Carolina responded, and took an 18–15 lead with 12:28 left in the first half. The Huskies then picked up the pace, out scoring the Gamecocks 32–13 for the rest of the half giving the Huskies a 16-point lead at halftime. The Gamecocks opened the second half with six consecutive points, but the Huskies again stepped up the offense, pushing the lead out to 20 points, and eventually to a 25-point margin at the final buzzer, for an 87–62 victory and a virtually certain return to the number one position in the polls.

UConn has now played in 20 games between the top two teams in the nation, and has a 17–3 record in those games.

Tulane (home)
The game against Tulane was not just
the first meeting as part of the American Athletic Conference, but
the first meeting ever. The huskies led from the start, with an early
10–0 run then a 15–0 run to take a 25–4 lead. The lead stretched to 30 points by halftime, and extended in the second half, with the final score over the Green Wave being 87–39.

Houston (home)
The game against Houston was a mismatch. Stewart scored 26 points to lead the Huskies and tie the Cougars. Although it took almost two minutes for the Huskies to score and eight attempts at a three-pointer before making one, there were few other missteps in the game. UConn outscored Houston 62–8 in the paint. The final score in the first game at the nation number one seed was 85–26 in favor of UConn.

Tulsa (away)

The game against Tulsa was the first visit by UConn to that city. Stewart continued her fine play, scoring 23 of her 28 points in the first half, matching the Tulsa total for the first half. Mosqueda-Lewis hit five three-pointers in the first half. Five UConn players scored in double digits, with Jefferson and Nurse scoring 12 and Chong scoring 11. The final score was 92–46.

Tulane (away)
UConn faced Tulane at their home arena, Devlin Fieldhouse. The Huskies doubled up the Green Wave 94–47, which secured at least a share of the conference regular season championship. Jefferson had eight steals, which she credited to the scouting report of Shea Ralph. The win represented the 800th game without back-to-back losses, a steak which extends back to 1993, before any of the current team members were born. The Green Wave were one of three teams in the conference with 20 or more wins.

Memphis (home)

The game itself was almost an afterthought. Uconn beat Memphis 87–24 in front of a sellout crowd, but the crowd was there for Senior Day-the last regular season game of the carriers of seniors Kalana Mosqueda-Lewis and Kiah Stokes. Before the game, the seniors and their families were honored by the coaching staff and fans, walking out to hold aloft their framed jerseys, and get one more cheer from the crowd. Kalana's brother Xander stole the show by running out into the arms of Auriemma. Mosquesda-Lewis was honored by having her number added to the Huskies of Honor on the wall of Gampel, honoring very special players and teams. During the game, Mosquesda-Lewis scored her 2.000th point, two years after scoring her 1,000th point on Senior Day when she was a sophomore. The score was assisted by fellow senior Stokes, whose first block of the game was her 300th of her career, and led to a score, starting a 31–0 run to put the game out of reach.

South Florida (away)

The South Florida team is solidly the second best in the American conference, a team that is likely to get a post-season bid and may do well there. However, there is still a gap between the best team in the conference and the second best team as epitomized by the 23-point win by the Huskies over the Bulls. Stewart had 29 points along with 11 rebounds, while setting a career high for blocks with seven. That over-shadowed Mosqueda-Lewis's fine performance, hitting another four three-pointers. The final score was 88–65.

American Athletic Conference tournament games

Cincinnati (AAC)

The first game of the AAC tournament was against Cincinnati, a team coached by a former UConn player and assistant coach, but a team that UConn has beaten easily. This time would prove no different, as the Huskies won an easy victory 93–34. The game was more about individual goals, as Mosqueda-Lewis hit four three-pointers in her chase of the NCAA career record. Stokes recorded three blocks to reach 128 on the season, only three away from tying Rebecca Lobo's single season UConn record of 131.

East Carolina (AAC)

The second tournament game was against East Carolina. The game was never close, and the Huskies prevailed, 106–56. Stokes recorded four blocks to surpass Lobo and become the record holder for Career blocks at UConn. The Huskies shot 77% from the field in the first half, and ended the game with a 66% field goal shooting percentage.

South Florida (AAC)

UConn faced the Bulls for the Conference Championship. Although the Huskies won by 14 points 84–70, that is the smallest margin of victory in their conference games, and the smallest margin of victory outside the early season loss to Stanford. Mosqueda-Lewis scored 23 points to lead the Huskies to their second undefeated run through the American Athletic conference regular and post-season schedule.

NCAA tournament championship

St. Francis (Brooklyn)

UConn's first opponent in the NCAA Tournament was St. Francis (Brooklyn). The Terriers earned a spot in the tournament by winning the Northeast Conference tournament. The Terriers were the #5 seed, so they played their first game on the road, and won,  which matched them against the #1 seed Central Connecticut, in a game to be played on Central's home court. St. Francis won again, this time in double overtime. That placed them in the final, against Robert Morris on their home court. St. Francis won again, earning the automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. The “prize” was playing the top seeded team in the tournament. One of the St. Francis players was Sarah Benedetti, who grew up in Canton, CT following the UConn team before opting to play at St. Francis. She hit several three-pointers, and ended up with 13 points. However, the talent of the Huskies proved to be too much, as the UConn team hit over 70% of their shots, with Tuck scoring on 12 of her 13 attempts leading to a career-high 26 points.  The final score in favor of the Huskies, was 89–33.

Rutgers

After the conference realignment, with Rutgers in the Big Ten Conference, the teams no longer automatically met in the regular season, but they were assigned to the same NCAA region, and met in the second round. The game did not start off like recent games have started. Stewart uncharacteristically picked up two early fouls and went to the bench. Some of the usual scorers were not scoring. Eventually, Mosqueda-Lewis took over and started an 11–0 run to open up the lead which would extend to 20 points by halftime. Early in the second half, the lead would stretch to 32, and the Huskies would go on to win and earn their 22nd consecutive trip to the Sweet 16.

Texas
A coach often tells their team they will play better in the second half following a sub-par first half.  Auriemma told his team at halftime “We’re going to play even better than that…Whatever that is, we’re going to find another gear in the second half.” However, the Huskies were leading by 28 points, 52–24, against Texas at the time of his prediction. Auriemma turned out to be correct, as the UConn lead extended out from 31 points to 42 points in under four minutes.  The final margin of 51 points is the largest margin of victory in an NCAA regional or Final Four game. The win represented Auriemma's 100th NCAA victory.  Stewart scored 31 points, and left the game with just over nine minutes remaining. Jefferson, a Texas native, scored a career-high 25 points.

Dayton

The Huskies found themselves in unfamiliar territory at halftime of the regional final against Dayton—they were trailing, for the first time this season. The Dayton Flyers were no strangers to challenges; they had defeated both the #2 seed Kentucky and the #3 seed Louisville to set up the match against UConn. In the first half, the Flyers hit seven of their ten three-point attempts, led by Ally Malott, who hit all four she attempted. Auriemma adjusted the defense in the second half, effectively, as Malott would not score in the second half. The Huskies took the lead, extended it to eleven points, then out to 20 points. The final score was 91–70.

Mosqueda-Lewis hit a three-pointer to give her 392 in her career, setting a new record for the NCAA Division I.

Maryland

One game after setting the NCAA Division I career record for threes, Mosqueda-Lewis hit only a single basket in the game against Maryland, but when shots weren't falling, she passed to her teammates, recording seven assists. Tuck scored on ten of her 16 shots, totaling 24 points along with nine rebounds. Stewart scored 25, as Auriemma felt the Huskies had a post advantage against the guard-oriented Terrapins, so sought to push the ball inside. The plan worked, and UConn beat Maryland 81–58 to earn a place in the championship game.

The actual dispute was over just £5 a man, the club having increased the bonus offer from £55 to £70 but the players wanted £75.

title: 1979–80 John Player Trophy

text:
This was the ninth season for the League Cup, known as the John Player Trophy for sponsorship reasons.

Bradford Northern won the trophy, beating Widnes 6–0 in the final. The match was played at Headingley, Leeds, West Yorkshire. The attendance was 9,909 and receipts were £11560.

Background

The council of the Rugby Football League voted to introduce a new competition, to be similar to The Football Association and Scottish Football Association's "League Cup". It was to be a similar knock-out structure to, and to be secondary to, the Challenge Cup. As this was being formulated, sports sponsorship was becoming more prevalent and as a result John Player and Sons, a division of Imperial Tobacco Company, became sponsors, and the competition never became widely known as the "League Cup."

The competition ran from 1971–72 until 1995–96 and was initially intended for the professional clubs plus the two amateur BARLA National Cup finalists. In later seasons the entries were expanded to take in other amateur and French teams. The competition was dropped due to "fixture congestion" when Rugby League became a summer sport
The Rugby League season always (until the onset of "Summer Rugby" in 1996) ran from around August-time through to around May-time and this competition always took place early in the season, in the Autumn, with the final usually taking place in late January.

The competition was known by its sponsorship name, as the Player's No.6 Trophy (1971–1977), the John Player Trophy (1977–1983), the John Player Special Trophy (1983–1989), and the Regal Trophy in 1989.

The 1979–80 season saw no changes in the entrants, no new members and no withdrawals, the number remaining at eighteen. There were no drawn matches in the competition.

Competition and results

Round 1 – First  Round

Involved  16 matches and 32 clubs

Round 2 – Second  Round

Involved  8 matches and 16 clubs

Round 3 -Quarter-finals

Involved 4 matches with 8 clubs

Round 4 – Semi-finals

Involved 2 matches and 4 clubs

Final
The final was originally scheduled to take place on 1 December 1979, but was postponed because of a BBC TV dispute. The game was re-scheduled, but due to a frozen pitch at the original venue, Station Road, Swinton, the fixture was moved to Headingley in Leeds.

Scoring – Try = three points – Goal = two points – Drop goal = one point

title: Joshua Edward Cooper

text:
Colonel Joshua Edward Cooper ( – 8 June 1837) was an Irish landowner and politician from County Sligo.

Cooper was the oldest son of Joshua Cooper MP (1732–1800) of Markree Castle, and his wife Alicia, daughter of Edward Synge, Bishop of Elphin.
He was the older brother of Edward Synge Cooper. He was educated by Rev. Richard Norris in  Drogheda, and then at Trinity College Dublin. In 1801 he married Elizabeth Lindesay, daughter of Robert Lindesay MP, from Loughry, County Tyrone. On his father's death in 1801, he inherited Markree.

He sat in the House of Commons of Ireland from 1790 to 1800, as one of the two Members of Parliament for
County Sligo.
After the Act of Union in 1800, he sat in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom until 1806 as MP for County Sligo.
He appears to have participated little in the proceedings of the Westminster Parliament, and stood down at the general election 1806, by which time he was deranged. His younger brother Edward Synge Cooper took over the running of the family estates, and was returned in his place as MP for County Sligo.

Cooper was Governor of County Sligo in 1802.  He was also an officer in the Sligo militia, as a major in 1793, lieutenant-colonel in 1795, and colonel from 1804 to 1807.

Cooper died in 1837. He and Elizabeth had no children, and Markree was inherited by his nephew Edward Joshua Cooper, son of Edward Synge Cooper.

title: Disney's Aladdin (Capcom video game)

text:
Disney's Aladdin is a 1993 platform game developed and published by Capcom for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, based on the 1992 animated Disney film of the same name. Disney's Aladdin is a 2D side-scrolling video game in which the player controls Aladdin and his monkey Abu. It was designed by Shinji Mikami.

The game was released in November 1993, the same month that another game with the same title was released by Virgin Games for Sega Genesis. The two games vary in some respects; in the Virgin game, Aladdin wields a scimitar, which is not the case in the Capcom game. The Capcom game was ported to Game Boy Advance (GBA) in Japan on August 1, 2003, in Europe on March 19, 2004, and in North America on September 28, 2004.

Gameplay

Disney's Aladdin is a side-scrolling platform game in which the player controls the eponymous main character through several stages taking place throughout the city of Agrabah. Within each stage, Aladdin defeats foes by jumping on them or disorienting them by throwing apples while avoiding dangerous obstacles. Gems can be collected to gain extra lives and points, and 10 red gems located within each stage will substantially increase the player's score. Most stages contain a treasure chest holding a scarab that flies about for a few seconds. If the player collects it before it disappears they will access a bonus stage in which they spin a wheel that allows Genie to grant them extra lives and other special bonuses. Aladdin has a health meter of hearts, starting with 3, which will deplete each time he is hit. These can be increased through pickups or through the bonus stages as well. As with the Virgin Games title, Aladdin starts with a number of extra lives, which are lost when his health is depleted or he falls off the bottom of the screen. The game ends when the player runs out of lives, although the player can continue playing from the current level as long as they have continues remaining.

The escape from the Cave of Wonders and the carpet ride with Princess Jasmine are both stages in which the player rides the Magic Carpet through self-scrolling stages. While in the Cave of Wonders the player must traverse up and down to avoid dangerous obstacles while outrunning waves of lava, the ride with Jasmine is a free-flying bonus stage (between stages 5 and 6) in which the player can collect gems; the bonus stage ends when the melody to "A Whole New World" ends. Stages 1, 6 and 7 have a boss to defeat, stage 7 being the final stage; stages 2, 3, 4 and 5 require reaching the end to complete.

Reception

In the United Kingdom, Aladdin was the top-selling SNES game in December 1993.

Electronic Gaming Monthly four reviewers scored the Super NES version 8, 8, 9 and 8 out of 10, adding up to 33 out of 40 (average 8.25 out of 10). They commented that the graphics, animation, music and gameplay are all outstanding. GameFans four reviewers scored it 90%, 89%, 87% and 90%. Pedro Hernandez of Nintendo World Report gave the game a positive review, saying that "Capcom truly did something great with this Super NES game". A ScrewAttack reviewer also gave the game a positive review, saying that it was one of the best SNES games. Aladdin proved to be a commercial success, selling approximately 1.8 million copies worldwide, becoming Capcom's highest-selling game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System after Street Fighter II and its various versions.

Shinji Mikami, the game's designer, said that if he had not made the SNES game, he "would probably buy" the Virgin game because it has a sword and better animation.

The GBA port received mixed reviews. Avi Fryman of GameSpy called the port of Disney's Aladdin "the most monumentally disappointing" of all the ports from SNES to GBA.

Accolades
IGN placed the SNES version 60th on their Top 100 SNES Games of All Time commenting that the game "faithfully [translates] the film's over-the-top magic into magical 16-bit form". In 2018, Complex rated the game 42nd in its "The Best Super Nintendo Games of All Time". In 1995, Total! ranked Aladdin 47th on its Top 100 SNES Games. They praised the game's animation and gameplay.

Re-release
The SNES version of the game was included alongside The Jungle Book, The Lion King, and the Virgin Games version of Aladdin as part of Disney Classic Games Collection: Aladdin, The Lion King, and The Jungle Book, an updated release of Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King, which was set for release for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One on November 9, 2021 before being delayed until November 23. Those who purchased the original Disney Classic Games release are also able to purchase the game and The Jungle Book as downloadable content.

title: Disney's Aladdin (1994 video game)

text:
Disney's Aladdin is a 1994 video game developed by SIMS Co., Ltd. for the Game Gear and Master System. Based on the film of the same name, Disney's Aladdin is a side-scrolling platform game in which the player character is Aladdin.

The Genesis game differs markedly from the 8-bit game on the Game Gear and Master System.

Development
The Walt Disney Company gave Sega a license to create Aladdin games for both the Game Gear and the Sega Genesis because of Sega's previous successes with other Disney video games, such as Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse and QuackShot.

Reception

In the United States, it topped the Game Gear sales charts for three months in 1994, from June to August 1994. In the United Kingdom, it was the top-selling Game Gear game in April 1994.

GamePro named Disney's Aladdin the best Game Gear game at the 1994 Consumer Electronics Show, remarking, "Gorgeous background graphics and detailed, quick-moving sprites make this a magical adventure, indeed." Their subsequent review of the game was more critical. Though they maintained that the graphics are exceptionally good, they criticized the controls and the beginner-level challenge, commenting, "It would have been better to spend less money on the animated sequences and more on putting better game play into the cart." Four reviewers from Electronic Gaming Monthly wrote reviews of the game, with Ed Semrad giving the game a 9/10 rating and the other three (Danyon Carpenter, Al Manuel, Sushi-X) giving it a 7/10 rating.

Legacy
In 2013, Complex listed the game as one of the 25 best handheld video games made, arguing that it combines elements of two other Disney's Aladdin video games: the Super Nintendo Entertainment System game and the Genesis game.

Centruroides suffusus, the Mexican scorpion, is a species of scorpion in the family Buthidae.

Centruroides suffusus, sometimes referred to as the Durango Scorpion, is the most predominant and poisonous species of scorpions in Durango City, Mexico. Because of this, their venom is used for multiple research purposes. The process of obtaining their venom is called scorpion milking, and in Durango, Mexico, milking this scorpion's venom via electrical stimulation is the preferred method.

title: Beata Kitsikis

text:
Beata Kitsikis (; July 14, 1907, Heraklion, Cretan State -  February 7, 1986, Athens), was a Greek feminist and a Communist fighter in the Greek Civil War at the end of the Second World War. She was born Merope Petychakis (). Her husband was Nicolas Kitsikis and her son was Dimitri Kitsikis. She also had two daughters, both University professors, Beata Maria Kitsikis Panagopoulos, an American citizen, and Elsa Schmid-Kitsikis, a Swiss citizen.

Life

Her father, Emmanuel Petychakis (1842-1915) originated from a famous Cretan family from the cities of Heraklion and Rethymno. He was born in Heraklion and settled in Cairo as a businessman. He married in Egypt Corinna, daughter of a Greek-Italian count from Trieste, conte d'Antonio (David Antoniadis). Emmanuel died in Heraklion in 1915 and his widow, Corinna, 19 years younger than him, lived in Heraklion with the most famous lawyer of the city, Aristidis Stergiadis, 1861-1949, of the same age as her, who was sent to Smyrna by the Greek Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos as the high commissioner of the Greek Occupation of Smyrna, in 1919-1922.

In 1921, Nicolas Kitsikis,(1887-1978) the civil engineer and professor at the Polytechnic University of Athens, was building the new harbor of Heraklion and there he met with the then 14-year-old Beata who he took back to Athens and married her in 1923. Their son Dimitri was born in 1935.

Beata never adapted to the high society of Athens in which Nicolas belonged and revolted against what she considered a useless oligarchy. During the war of Greece against the Italian invasion of Albania, in 1940-1941, she volunteered as a nurse in the military hospitals in Athens, crowded with the injured soldiers brought back from the Albanian front. During the German Occupation of Greece (1941-1944) she joined the Resistance Movement National Liberation Front (Greece) EAM (Εθνικό Απελευθερωτικό Μέτωπο) as well as the Communist Party of Greece, the KKE. By the time Athens was liberated she had joined the communist militia OPLA (Organization for the Protection of the People's Struggle).

Beata's trial

On April 9, 1948, in the middle of the Civil War, a military tribunal in Athens undertook to judge accusations against Beata for espionage in favor of the outlawed Greek Communist Party, while her husband was still the President of the Greek-Soviet Association. Her courageous stand during the lawsuit impressed public opinion who started calling her the Greek Pasionaria. Her son Dimitri was sent to a boarding school in Paris, by Octave Merlier, the head of the French Institute in Athens, because his mother had been condemned to death as a communist fighter.

She was tortured but she never agreed to sign the usual declaration of repentance condemning communism. On May 1, 1948, Christos Ladas, the Minister of Justice who had signed her death penalty, was assassinated by a member of the OPLA militia and the newspapers accused Beata of having ordered the minister's murder from inside her prison. Nevertheless, because of the influence her husband Nicolas Kitsikis still enjoyed in the upper circles of Greek society her execution did not take place and she was released from prison at the end of 1951, after the civil war was over.

Her son Dimitri married his British wife Anne Hubbard, the daughter of a chief justice, in Scotland in 1955.

Beata brings People's China to Greece

In 1955, Nicolas Kitsikis had talks with representatives of Beijing in Stockholm. The Chinese asked him to put up a Greek-Chinese Association in Athens at a time when only Taiwan was recognized by the Greek Government as representing China. Nicolas Kitsikis answered he would ask his wife Beata to do the job. At that time China was generally unknown to the Greek people. Beata immediately organized what was considered the greatest success of Chinese presence in the whole of Europe at the time. Since then, she travelled regularly to China where she became closely acquainted with Chinese leaders Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and Deng Xiaoping.

At the outburst of the Greek Colonels Coup of April 21, 1967, she flew to Switzerland with a false Swiss passport and then to Paris.  After the fall of the junta in 1974, she came back to Greece. Her husband died in 1978, and she died on 7 February 1986, after a long-life struggle with tuberculosis contracted in 1940, when serving as a nurse in military hospitals. She was honored by the Communist Party of Greece.

title: Billy Flynn (Chicago)

text:
William Flynn is a fictional character from the 1926 play Chicago, written by Maurine Dallas Watkins, and its various derivative works and remakes.

Character background
Billy Flynn is one of the city of Chicago's most effective criminal defense lawyers; he can win any trial and usually represents women who have murdered their lovers. He has never lost a case involving a female defendant in his whole career, but in turn charges high fees for his services ($5,000), demands payment in full up-front, and never takes pro bono work. In rare cases, such as Roxie Hart's, he will take a discount rate in exchange for a cut of proceeds from selling ephemera and media rights fees related to the case. In the play, he defends Hart and her rival Velma Kelly, winning both cases.

Most of Billy Flynn's clients actually did commit the murder they are accused of; therefore he usually attempts to conjure a defense of self-defense or insanity. He will often turn trials into a media circus and public spectacle, regularly manipulates witnesses to fit his narratives (which usually have no resemblance to the truth), and keeps a tabloid sob sister, Mary Sunshine, on retainer to ensure positive press coverage for his clients. He considers his profession to be akin to the entertainment industry, with himself as an A-list star in the field.

In the musical, Flynn sings three songs. "All I Care About (is Love)" serves as Flynn's jingle, in which the crooner claims not to care about wealth or materialism and works for his love of women (later revealed to be a complete lie), "They Both Reached For The Gun (The Press Conference Rag)" serves as a ventriloquist act with a call-and-response between Billy's "dummy" Roxie and the press, and "Razzle Dazzle" (a champagnesque piece with what Jerry Orbach described as "Brechtian subtlety") serves as the explanation of Flynn's modus operandi: make the case a distraction so that the jury loses attention.

Flynn is a composite character based on real-life Chicago attorneys of the era, William Scott Stewart and W. W. O'Brien. In the musical adaptation, his style is based upon Ted Lewis.

title: Betty Harris (scientist)

text:
Betty Wright Harris (born July 29, 1940) is an American chemist. She is known for her work on the chemistry of explosives completed at Los Alamos National Laboratory. She patented a spot test for detecting 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB) in the field,  which is used by the Federal Department of Homeland Security to screen for nitroaromatic explosives.

Early life and education
Harris was born on 29 July 1940 in Ouachita Parish, Monroe, Louisiana. She and her 11 siblings were raised on a farm by Henry Hudson "Jake" and Legertha Evelyn Thompson Wright. She attended Union Central High School, enrolling at Southern University at the age of 16. She received her B.S. in chemistry with a minor in mathematics at the age of 19 and subsequently attended Atlanta University, receiving her M.S. degree. She taught as an assistant professor of chemistry and mathematics at Mississippi Valley State University, Southern University and Colorado College.

Harris was awarded a PhD in chemistry from the University of New Mexico in 1975, with a dissertation titled "Reactions of 2-aminopyridine with picryl halides".

Career

After gaining her PhD, she taught chemistry and mathematics at Mississippi Valley State University and Southern University. Harris subsequently moved to do research at Los Alamos National Laboratory, where she worked in the areas of hazardous waste treatment and environmental remediation as well as explosives chemistry. Areas of focus included explosives detection, safing liquids, synthesis and characterization of insensitive high explosives and sensitivity of weathered high explosives. In addition to her research, she has worked in outreach to young people, including working with the Girl Scouts in developing a badge based on chemistry.

During a leave of absence from LANL, Harris was the chief of chemical technology for Solar Turbine Inc., where she managed the technical laboratories and investigated cold-end corrosion of super alloys, which was caused by sulfuric acid and soot in gas turbine engines. For the last eleven years of Harris's career, she worked at the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Classification as a certified document reviewer.

Awards

She has received the New Mexico Governor's Trailblazer Award, and is recognized as a distinguished African American Scientist by the National Academy of Sciences. She is a member of Women in Science and Engineering and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and served as President of the New Mexico Business and Professional Women's Organization. She is a 50-year member of the American Chemical Society.

Personal life
Harris lives in Los Alamos, NM and has three children.

title: 2014 Pocono IndyCar 500

text:
The 2014 Pocono IndyCar 500 was the twenty-first running of the event, and was an IndyCar Series race held on July 6, 2014, at the Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pennsylvania. The race was the eleventh in the 2014 IndyCar Series season. Juan Pablo Montoya won the pole and later went on to win the race, which was the fastest 500 mile automobile race of any kind in history.

Background
In late May, Ryan Hunter-Reay won the 2014 Indianapolis 500. He entered Pocono with a chance to win the Triple Crown (IndyCar). For the first time since the 1970s, the Pocono 500 awarded double points as part of IndyCar's efforts to increase the importance of its 500 mile races.

Entering the race weekend, IndyCar's future at Pocono was in jeopardy. Track president Brandon Igdalsky declared that ticket sales for the event "were kind of scary" compared to the inaugural event in 2013. It was believed the date on Independence Day weekend was unappealing to spectators in addition to being sandwiched between two NASCAR races. The track insisted they would consider exiting their contract with IndyCar at the end of 2014 if the race lost money.

In October 2014, it was confirmed that IndyCar would return to Pocono in 2015 but at a later date in August. "I’m excited about the new date and getting away from the Fourth of July,” Igdalsky said. “According to most of the fans I talked to, that was the thing that really hurt us with attendance."

Summary

Practice
Two practice sessions and Time Trials were held on Saturday, July 5th.

In the opening 60-minute practice session, Tony Kanaan posted the fastest speed at 221.344 mph. He was followed by Ryan Hunter-Reay at 220.882 mph and Marco Andretti at 220.470 mph.

In the second 60-minute practice session, Will Power posted the fastest lap with a speed of 223.348 mph. Halfway through the session, Jack Hawksworth spun in turn one and impacted the wall with the left side of the car. Hawksworth was treated and released by the infield medical center but soon began to feel unwell. He went to a local hospital where he was diagnosed with a myocardial contusion, better known as a bruised heart. Hawksworth was not cleared to drive in the Pocono 500 but returned to racing in the IndyCar race at Iowa six days later.

Time Trials
Qualifying was held in the late afternoon. The lineup was set by a two-lap average speed. Juan Pablo Montoya was the last car to qualify and posted a first lap speed of 223.920 mph and a two-lap average of 223.871 mph, both track records. Montoya's teammate Will Power was the second fastest qualifier with Carlos Muñoz starting third to complete the front row.

It was Montoya's 15th career pole in IndyCar and his first since the 2000 Honda Indy 300. It was also Montoya's second pole at Pocono in less than two years, having won the pole for the August 2012 NASCAR Cup Series Pennsylvania 400.

Race
From his position in the middle of the front row, Will Power took the lead from Juan Pablo Montoya at the beginning of the race. After starting fifth, Marco Andretti passed Montoya for second entering turn one, but Montoya repassed Andretti entering turn two. Power led for the first 30 laps until he made his first green flag pit stop on lap 31.

2014 Indianapolis 500 champion Ryan Hunter-Reay, went to the garage early with mechanical problems but returned to the track and finished 18th, 19 laps behind the leaders.

On lap 50, Tony Kanaan passed Power entering turn three to take the lead. With the exceptions of green flag pit stops, Kanaan led the majority of the next 100 laps as the race continued without interruption. During the cycle of green flag pit stops on lap 155, Will Power overtook Kanaan to assume the lead.

After 158 laps were run without a caution flag, Graham Rahal spun exiting turn two and avoided the wall. Rahal believed the spin was due to a mechanical failure.

When the race restarted on lap 165, Power's lead was immediately challenged by Montoya in turn one. Power and Montoya raced side-by-side through the first turn and onto the Long Pond Straightaway. Entering turn two, Montoya backed off and followed Power through the turn. As the cars completed one lap, Montoya closely drafted Power down the frontstretch. As Montoya moved to the outside of Power at the end of the frontstretch, the two cars touched and Montoya's front wing end plate was broken off. Montoya completed the pass on the outside in turn one and took the lead. Power was quickly passed by Carlos Muñoz for second.

On lap 168, Helio Castroneves closed up on Power for third on the frontstretch. Power made a blocking move as Castroneves passed to the inside. IndyCar officials penalized Power for blocking and Power was forced to make a drive-through penalty.

Montoya made his final pit stop for fuel with 13 laps remaining. Josef Newgarden held the lead for seven laps before he made his final pit stop. That gave the lead to Tony Kanaan who led for two lap before making his final stop with four laps remaining.

Montoya won the Pocono 500 by a margin of 2.340 seconds over his teammate Helio Castroneves. The race was completed in two hours, 28 minutes, and 14 seconds, an average speed of 202.402 mph. It was the first time a 500 mile auto race was completed at an average speed over 200 mph and as of 2023 remains the fastest 500-mile race of any kind in motorsport history. There were 16 lead changes among 5 drivers.

It was Montoya's first Indy car win since the September 2000 race at Gateway.

Broadcasting
The race was broadcast by NBCSN. Booth announcers were Bob Varsha, Townsend Bell, and Paul Tracy. Reporting from the pits were Kelli Stavast, Jon Beekhuis, Kevin Lee, and Robin Miller.
