UConn star KK Arnold flaunted her dance moves before the No. 1-seeded Huskies beat No. 5-seeded Villanova 82-54 in the Big East Tournament women's semifinals on Sunday. During the pre-game warmups, Arnold was spotted teaching UConn's associate coach Chris Dailey a trendy TikTok 'Say A Little Prayer' dance.
The video of Arnold and Dailey performing some of the dance routines was posted on X by Hartford Courant's Emily Adams on Sunday. Watch the video below:
The Huskies went on to secure a comfortable win over the Wildcats. Paige Bueckers led the scoring for UConn with a game-high 23 points, along with six assists and one rebound, while Sarah Strong contributed with 20 points, 16 rebounds and four assists. Arnold finished with one point and one rebound.
Meanwhile, Maddie Webber scored a team-high 15 points for Villanova, adding three rebounds and one assist. Her teammates Denae Carter and Ryanne Allen chipped in with 10 points each, but it wasn't enough to get the Wildcats the win on the night.
Dailey has been instrumental in UConn's success over the years. She has been the associate HC at the team since 1988 and worked closely with HC Geno Auriemma, helping the program win 11 national titles.
