UConn had an easy win over Providence and clinched its 11th straight Big East title.

"Last year at this time, going down to the Big East tournament, we had struggled for two or three weeks," said Geno. "We were winning, but we weren't exactly happy. Right now we're in a pretty good frame of mind. We're winning and we're happy and we're playing well."

Geno gave Diana and the other starters rest, and he gave everyone else a chance for some minutes and numbers. Strother was the only player in double figures; she had 10. Taurasi had 10 assists and 1 turnover.
