Exiting HD highlights and interviews from the womens college basketball game between DePaul and the #1 ranked team in the world, the UCONN Huskies. The game started off very intense, with the Blue Demons of DePaul holding their own against a UConn team that was routinely smashing even ranked opponents by double digits by halftime. Though UConn prevailed in the end, DePaul put up a very comendable fight. Junior guard Sam Quigley led DePaul with 18 points. Felicia Chester and Courtney Webb also had solid scoring outputs for the Blue Demons. The famous trio from Uconn performed well as usual, but on this night Tiffany Hayes really had everything going her way. Tina Charles and Maya Moore were a big part of the puzzle but according to Tiffany "everything that they do is a team effort and no individual is praised more than the other." I hope you enjoy and Leave your comments to let me know what you think of this video!
