The last time the team had been defeated was in November 2014, 818 days prior to their record win. Under the leadership of head coach Geno Auriemma, UConn defeated South Carolina 66-55. When the game was over, fake one hundred dollar bills featuring Auriemma were released to the crowds and students spelled out “100” in the stands.
