UConn women’s basketball gets the response it needed from Sarah Strong vs Iowa
Sarah Strong answered UConn's challenge with a career night and the leadership needed in a bounce-back win over Iowa.
In a thrilling victory over Iowa, UConn women's basketball star Sarah Strong delivered a career-high 39-point performance to lead her team to an 91-79 win. Strong's dominant outing came after a disappointing loss to Michigan three days prior, and she was determined to make amends. From the opening tip, Strong targeted her shots, hitting spot-up threes, face-up jumpers, and midrange pull-ups.
Iowa's defense struggled to contain her, opening up driving lanes to the rim. Strong showcased her versatility, hitting a buzzer-beating 3-pointer with just 2.4 seconds remaining in the first half. Auriemma commended Strong's resolve and leadership, noting that the performance confirmed she is "one of the best to ever play here."
