What to look for

Hard to beat

In the early days, Providence owned UConn, winning 16 of first 17 meetings from 1975 to 1987. Since then, the Friars have won just five of 40. Their last win was on March 7, 1993. UConn was won 27 straight.

On a roll

After scoring double-figures just six times in her first 20 games, Hartley is beginning to heat up. She’s stacked together three straight and has scored 38 points in her last two games, shooting 14 of 23 in the process.

If it’s free, take it

Dolson was shooting 81.3 percent from the free throw line before the season, but making them at only a 71.7 percent this year before dropping 10 of 11 against DePaul. She is now 43 of 57 this season (75.4).
