If you skipped Thursday's tip, here's what you missed: the Wolverines beat the Huskies, the first win in program history over a team ranked No. 2 or higher.
Te'Yala Delfosse had a career-high 22 points, and Olivia Olson added 19. Michigan went on a 13-2 run early in the fourth quarter. Sarah Strong fouled out with 13 points, and Michigan did it without starting point guard Mila Holloway, who is out indefinitely.
“How many teams beat UConn? It doesn't happen.”
Kim Barnes Arico, Michigan head coach
