UConn and South Carolina set to battle for the NCAA women's basketball title
CNN
The Connecticut Huskies take on the South Carolina Gamecocks in the women's basketball national championship Sunday night in a matchup of last year's player of the year against this year's.
No. 1 overall seed South Carolina is led by junior Aliyah Boston, the 6-foot-5 forward who has dominated the paint for the favorite Gamecocks. Boston averaged 17 points, 12 rebounds and more than 2 blocks per game on the season on her way to winning the Associated Press national player of the year.
UConn, meanwhile, is led by sophomore guard Paige Bueckers, last year's national player of the year. She missed much of the season with a left knee injury but returned in February and is part of a trio of stellar guards.

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
