Connecticut is dominant yet again, but each season seems to bring more parity to the women’s game.
With that, USA TODAY introduces its 2018 Women’s Basketball All-America team, featuring one of the most unique players in the women’s game (A’ja Wilson), a coach who led her team to a regular-season title despite a stunning number of injuries (Muffet McGraw) and a sophomore guard already rewriting the triple-double record books.
Of course, there are a few Huskies, too.
