When she saw that UCLA and shared a regional with No. 1 seed Connecticut, senior Kari Korver was admittedly not excited. That only lasted a few seconds though.

Although the undefeated Huskies seem to be a juggernaut, with its 109-game winning streak and legendary coach, the Bruins aren’t shying away from the challenge.

“There’s nothing you can do about it, it’s out of your control,” Korver said of being in UConn’s regional. “I actually feel like it’s going to be a really fun test, it’s going to be really cool.”
