Perennial powerhouse UConn now advances to the championship game Tuesday to play Notre Dame, which topped South Carolina in a nail-biter, 66-65, in its Final Four game on Sunday.

Gov. Dannel Malloy is extending “Husky Weekend” through Tuesday as UConn aims for another NCAA championship.

“The UConn women’s basketball team leads the nation in strength, spirit and drive, and under the leadership of Geno Auriemma have reached their eighth consecutive Final Four,” Malloy said. “We will be cheering the team on this weekend, and I urge all Connecticut residents to show the nation how proud we are of our hometown team. Let’s get behind them – and let’s show the nation what UConn basketball is all about.”

The national championship game will be played at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday in Tampa, Fla. The game will be televised on ESPN.
