The Huskies, led by thirty first year head coach Geno Auriemma, won the NCAA tournament and went undefeated. With their eleventh championship win in 2016, the UConn Huskies became the first NCAA Division I women's basketball team to win four straight national championships.
context_section_description: One week before, South Florida lead UConn at the half in the final game of the regular season. The two teams met again in the American Athletic Conference championship game. The Bulls also had a lead in this game, but this time they led at the end of the first quarter before falling behind and never retaking the lead. Jefferson was given the assignment of guarding Courtney Williams, the best player for South Florida, and held her to a single basket in the first half. In the second half the Huskies hit 15 of their first 19 field-goal attempts to extend the lead to 71–43. UConn won the game 77–51. Jefferson, Tuck and Samuelson were named to the all-tournament team while Stewart was named the tournament's most outstanding player.
