Connecticut franchise sunny-side up in WNBA playoffs.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Byline: Mel Greenberg
PHILADELPHIA _ In recent years, the University of Connecticut women's basketball team has made a habit of appearing in the NCAA Final Four.
On Saturday, the Connecticut Sun, the new women's pro team in the Nutmeg State, reached a similar level in the WNBA playoffs.
The Sun is under the same Mohegan Tribe ownership as the Mohegan Sun casino-entertainment establishment in Uncasville, Conn.
Coach Mike Thibault's No. 3-seeded squad hit the jackpot far away from the Mohegan gaming action when it completed a two-game sweep of the No. 2-seeded Charlotte Sting in an Eastern Conference semifinal series.
In the conference finals this weekend, Connecticut will play either the No. 1 Detroit Shock or the No. 4 Cleveland Rockers, who will decide that series on Tuesday night.
