Michigan defeats UConn to end Huskies' 39-game winning streak

The Michigan Wolverines defeated the No. 2 UConn Huskies 77-66 at Crisler Center, ending UConn's 39-game winning streak. The loss marks the Huskies' first regular-season defeat since February 2025.

UConn's performance was bolstered by strong perimeter shooting, with the team converting several three-pointers early in the game. In contrast, Michigan struggled from beyond the arc, shooting 7-of-28 from three-point range.

Following the game, UConn head coach Geno Auriemma praised Michigan coach Kim Barnes Arico for building the Wolverines into a national contender. While some observers noted the sportsmanship, some UConn supporters expressed frustration on social media regarding the loss and Auriemma's coaching style.
