The University of Connecticut Huskies are poised to make history tonight. If they beat Syracuse, as expected, they’ll be the first women’s basketball team in NCAA history to win four national titles in a row.

The team has by far been the best women’s school in the country since the 1994-95 academic year. Kim Better Thompson played guard on that team, and speaks with Here & Now’s Robin Young about the Huskies then, and now.
