No. 7 UConn end No. 4 South Carolina's "hell of a run" 71-game home win streak

Dawn Staley tried to smile when she entered for her post-game media session, faithfully followed up the steps by her dog, Champ.

"My emotional support dog," Staley joked.

South Carolina's coach and her defending national champions certainly need some support after the last of their impressive streaks, a run of 71 straight wins at loud, supportive Colonial Life Arena, ended in an 87-58 loss to No. 7 UConn on Sunday.
