Leading a young team that had four new starters, Taurasi ignored the sore back and ankle that have bothered her for several weeks and carried Connecticut to a 73-68 victory over Tennessee on Tuesday night for its second straight national championship. Taurasi, who averaged 22 points in her first five games against Tennessee, scored 28 in this one with a variety of the flashy moves that made her the national player of the year and the Final Four's most outstanding player. "She's cut from a different cloth. She's got a lot of Italian in her, God bless her," said UConn coach Geno Auriemma, himself the son of Italian immigrants. "I've never been around anyone who is just immune to the pressures of the moment and just lives in the moment and has such joy and passion for the game and shows it on every possession."
