What's the latest news in women's college basketball?

  • Geno Auriemma, UConn's head coach, is missing a second game on Wednesday due to an illness.

    "There's been a lot going on in the last couple weeks, and I think it caught up to me physically," Auriemma said in a statement, according to ESPN. "I've been feeling under the weather for about 10 days now, and my doctor recommended I take a few days off to fully recover. CD [longtime associate head coach Chris Dailey] and the coaching staff will continue to do a phenomenal job in my absence, and I look forward to returning to the team in a few days."

  • Elsewhere, Notre Dame put up a statement win on Sunday, knocking out No. 6 Virginia Tech for the Hokies first loss of the season. Olivia Miles was predictably excellent for the Irish, scoring 16 points with 13 rebounds, seven assists and five steals.

  • Also, LSU star Angel Reese has officially double-doubled in all 12 games she's played in this year for the undefeated Tigers.
