    No. 3 UConn women host Memphis on Wednesday in XL Center finale

    UConn plays its final game at the XL Center in Hartford on Wednesday night when the No. 3 Huskies host Memphis in an American Athletic Conference women's basketball game (7 p.m., SNY).

    UConn (23-2, 11-0) continues to dominate AAC play. Following Sunday's 78-41 road win at Central Florida, the Huskies improved their regular-season record in the conference to 97-0 (they are 112-0 including the postseason).

    Senior Napheesa Collier led UConn with 18 points and 11 rebounds in the win over UCF as all five starters reached double figures and freshman center Olivia Nelson-Ododa came off the bench to finish with nine points and three blocks.

    Memphis (10-15, 5-7) is also coming off a win, defeating Tulane 65-59 last Saturday. The Tigers are led by Jamirah Shutes with 13.9 points per game and Alana Davis, who averages 12.5 points and 8.3 rebounds.

    • UConn announced Tuesday that it has scheduled two future games against Texas. The Huskies will host the Longhorns during the 2020-21 season and will travel to Austin in 2021-22.

    UConn is 8-0 all-time vs. Texas. The teams last met on Jan. 15, 2018. The Longhorns, currently ranked No. 16 in the nation, have made four straight NCAA tournament appearance, reaching the Elite Eight one and the Sweet 16 all four times.
