2013–14 UConn Huskies women's basketball team, Game results, Regular season, 2013
After a twelve-day layoff for exams, UConn's next game was against Duke, ranked number 2 in the nation. This game would be the first game for Mosqueda-Lewis since her injury in the Stanford game.

2013–14 UConn Huskies women's basketball team, Game results, Regular season, 2014
The following game was against seventh ranked Baylor on Baylor's home court, where the Bears had a 69-game home winning streak.

2013–14 UConn Huskies women's basketball team, Game results, Regular season, 2014

In the game against USF, Tuck was unavailable (out for the season), Banks was unavailable (ankle injury) and Chong dressed, but had stomach issues and was unable to play. This left the five starters and one scholarship player. Opposing coaches aren't showing much sympathy, as the short bench hasn't contributed to a loss. Against USF, Stewart scored 29 to help lead the Huskies to an 81–53 win.


2013–14 UConn Huskies women's basketball team, Game results, Regular season, 2014
The game against Temple on January 28 was held at McGonigle Hall an arena familiar to head coach Auriemma, as it is just six miles from where he grew up, but it was the first time he had ever coached a game there.

His team held UConn to the lowest points total of the season, as well as the fewest made field goals. Mosqueda-Lewis was unable to play due to mononucleosis, so Saniya Chong was a first time starter. While she did not score, she played 37 minutes and earned praise from her coach.

Connecticut faced Stanford in the semi-final game. The Huskies scored twice before the Cardinal scored, but Stanford not only took the lead at 9–8, but extended the lead to 16–10. The two teams played evenly for some time, and with just under six minutes to go in the first half, the Cardinal still held a six-point lead, 22–16. UConn pulled out to a four-point lead by halftime, although Mosqueda-Lewis had not yet scored. She would make up for that in the second half with 15 points, one of five players in double digits. In the second half, Stanford had an early three-point shot to cut the lead to three, but they would not score again for over five minutes, by which time the margin reach 17 points at 44–27.

The win by UConn in the semi-final game, coupled with the win by Notre Dame over Maryland in the other semi-final set up the Championship game between two undefeated teams, a theme that has been repeated in the media. Sports Illustrated summed it up by calling it "one of the most anticipated games in the sport's history". It is the first time in NCAA history that two unbeaten teams met in the championship game.


2013–14 UConn Huskies women's basketball team, Game results, Regular season, NCAA Tournament
The two teams are not unfamiliar with each other; both teams were in the Big East Conference until UConn joined the AAC and Notre Dame joined the ACC. The teams played each other 16 times since the 2009–10 season; in many cases, with much on the line. Most of the games affected conference standings, were conference title games or NCAA Final Four games. Three of the game went to overtime. Because the two teams were now in different conferences, it was the first time in many years the two teams had not met in the regular season.


2013–14 UConn Huskies women's basketball team, Game results, Regular season, NCAA Tournament
UConn would take an early lead in the game. Notre Dame's best post player, Natalie Achonwa, was not playing due to an ACL injury, so UConn pushed the ball inside. They would end up with a 52–22 points in the paint advantage, the "most dominating post performance women's basketball has witnessed in a title game". After pulling out to a 14-point lead midway through the first half, the Irish responded to cut the lead to seven by halftime.

However, Sports Illustrated's Richard Deitsch warned in a pre-game write-up "...UConn has always been a team of runs ("spurtability," as Clark Kellogg would say) especially early in the second half". The second half opened with the teams trading baskets, but over the next seven minutes, UConn scored 16 of the next 18 points, to extend the lead from seven to 21 points. UConn would go on to win their ninth National Championship game by the same margin 79–58. The 40 wins tied an NCAA record set by Baylor two years ago.

2013–14 UConn Huskies women's basketball team, First Night
For many years, the NCAA earliest allowable date for formal practice was the same day for all basketball teams, both men and women. This led to some teams celebrating the start of the season with an event, often called Midnight Madness. The start time was changed from midnight, and schools adopted various names. In recent years, the NCAA has changed the way the date of initial practice is determined, with slightly different rules for men and women, so the first date can vary by school. Some school still plan a pre-season event, even though that event no longer coincides with the first date of practice.


2013–14 UConn Huskies women's basketball team, First Night
At UConn the event is called "First Night" In 2013, at Gampel Pavilion, it included player introductions with dance routines. The players from both the men's teams and women's team were assigned to two teams, one coached by women's coach Geno Auriemma and the other coached by men's coach Kevin Ollie. After competing against each other in trivia games where they had to identify cartoon characters drawn by three-year-olds, they played a five-on-five scrimmage, generally with three males and two females on each team. It was a lighthearted affair, with little actual defense, and many dunks. Team Geno won with a late three-pointer by  Omar Calhoun. The arena was close to full, with an estimated 10,000 fans in attendance.

2013–14 UEFA Champions League, Association team allocation
The winners of the 2012–13 UEFA Champions League were given an additional entry as title holders if they would not qualify for the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League through their domestic league (because of the restriction that no association can have more than four teams playing in the Champions League, if the title holders are from the top three associations and finish outside the top four in their domestic league, the title holders' entry comes at the expense of the fourth-placed team of their association). However, this additional entry was not necessary for this season since the title holders qualified for the tournament through their domestic league.

If away goals were also equal, then thirty minutes of extra time was played.


2013–14 UEFA Champions League knockout phase, Format
The away goals rule was again applied after extra time, i.e., if there were goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score was still level, the visiting team advanced by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals were scored during extra time, the tie was decided by penalty shoot-out. In the final, which was played as a single match, if scores were level at the end of normal time, extra time was played, followed by penalty shoot-out if scores remained tied.

In the draws for each round, teams were seeded based on their UEFA club coefficients at the beginning of the season, with the teams divided into seeded and unseeded pots. A seeded team was drawn against an unseeded team, with the order of legs in each tie decided randomly. Due to the limited time between matches, the draws for the second and third qualifying rounds took place before the results of the previous round were known.


2013–14 UEFA Champions League qualifying phase and play-off round, Format
For these draws (or in any cases where the result of a tie in the previous round was not known at the time of the draw), the seeding was carried out under the assumption that the team with the higher coefficient of an undecided tie advanced to this round, which means if the team with the lower coefficient was to advance, it simply took the seeding of its defeated opponent.


2013–14 UEFA Champions League qualifying phase and play-off round, Format
Prior to the draws, UEFA may form "groups" in accordance with the principles set by the Club Competitions Committee, but they were purely for convenience of the draw and for ensuring that teams from the same association were not drawn against each other, and did not resemble any real groupings in the sense of the competition.

The winners of the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League are given an additional entry as title holders if they do not qualify for the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League or Europa League through their domestic performance.

The team that scored more goals on aggregate over the two legs advanced to the next round. If the aggregate score was level, the away goals rule was applied, i.e., the team that scored more goals away from home over the two legs advanced. If away goals were also equal, then thirty minutes of extra time was played.
