Geno Auriemma matches Pat Summitt for NCAA tournament victories

Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma has caught Pat Summitt in terms of NCAA women's basketball tournament victories.

Auriemma recorded NCAA career victory No. 112 with the Huskies' 86-71 victory over UCLA on Saturday in Bridgeport (Conn.) Regional semifinals. The victory stretched UConn's winning streak to 110 games. Auriemma is in his 32nd year with Connecticut.
