Gamecocks end Huskies’ winning streak at 54 games
Auriemma appears to skip postgame handshake line
Staley: ‘If I did something wrong to Geno, I had no idea’
UConn coach Geno Auriemma and South Carolina coach Dawn Staley had a heated exchange on the sideline after the Gamecocks beat the undefeated Huskies 62-48 in Friday night’s semi-final of the NCAA Women’s Tournament. South Carolina ended UConn’s winning streak at 54 games and secured a return trip to the national championship game.
As the two went to shake hands with 0.1 seconds left, Auriemma appeared to go to shake Staley’s hand and began yelling in her direction. Staley responded with words of her own. Assistant coaches went to calm the two sides, and UConn inbounded the ball to end the game.
