BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — Getting to the Final Four never gets old for Geno Auriemma and his Connecticut women’s team.

The Huskies reached the national semifinals for a record sixth straight season with an 83-53 win over Kentucky on Monday night in the regional finals of the NCAA tournament.

Up next will be either Notre Dame, a Big East rival the Huskies have lost to three times this season, or Duke, a squad UConn routed by 30 points in January.

Auriemma didn’t really seem to care who the Huskies play Sunday.

“Anytime you’re fortunate to play in the Final Four, you’re going to have to beat two great teams,” he said. “You don’t stumble your way into the Final Four, that’s for sure. Whoever we play Sunday, that’s our main focus right now. After Sunday, we’ll play on Tuesday or we’re going home. Right now we have a great chance to win a national championship.”

The road to an eighth title got a bit easier for the Huskies (33-4) when defending national champion and top overall seed Baylor lost to Louisville on Sunday night. Still, they could face the Irish, who have eliminated them in the past two Final Fours and won seven of the past eight meetings.

“We’re ready for whoever is there,” junior center Stefanie Dolson said.

Breanna Stewart scored 21 points and Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis added 17 to lead the Huskies, who have reached the national semifinals 14 times.

California 65, Georgia 62

SPOKANE, Wash. — California coach Lindsay Gottlieb was in elementary school the last time a West Coast women’s basketball program not named Stanford reached the Final Four.

Gottlieb understood the drought and the difficulty in getting to the national semifinals. That’s partly why the grin on her face was so wide Monday night when Cal finally snapped that 25-year streak, sending the Golden Bears to New Orleans for the Final Four.

“These kids are brought in,” Gottlieb said. “So many things go into it and then you have to get a little lucky and then things have to go right.”

Layshia Clarendon scored 17 of her 25 points in the second half and overtime, and California rallied from 10 down with less than 7 minutes left to beat Georgia 65-62 in the Spokane Regional final, advancing to the national semifinals for the first time in school history.

Long Beach State in 1988 was the last team from the western part of the country other than Stanford to reach the Final Four. During that 25-year span, eight different programs in the West reached the regional finals.
