ATLANTA — The No. 3 UConn women's basketball team (5-2) fell at Georgia Tech (7-2), 57-44, Thursday evening.
"You're always told that if you work work hard, play good defense, rebound the ball, you have a chance to win the game," head coach Geno Auriemma said. "But it's not going to win the game for you. You've still got to score. You still have to be organized. We're disorganized. That's the biggest thing I can tell you. We're a disorganized group right now, from the coaching on down."
With both teams struggling to muster offense, the game was tied at halftime (28-28) and at the end of the third quarter (39-39).
Georgia Tech pulled away in the fourth quarter before a raucous crowd of 4,578 to snap UConn's 240-game winning streak against unranked opponents.
The Huskies' last such loss came against St. John's on Feb. 18, 2012.
Christyn Williams topped UConn with 13 points while Olivia Nelson-Ododa had her second straight double-double.
The Huskies are back in action Sunday in the Never Forget Tribute Classic vs. UCLA at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
