A little trivia
Seeing how prolific the trio of Maya Moore, Tina Charles and Renee Montgomery have been in the first 10 games of the season, I decided to do a little research to put their scoring exploits into historical perspective.
Just went through the UConn "Blue Book" which is a statistical supplement UConn sports information director Randy Press has put out yearly since the NCAA set restrictions on the maximum number of pages in college media guides.
I discovered that they are on pace to average more points than any three UConn players have in the same season and would be the first trio of Huskies to combine for more than 50 points per game. That is not a shock but it may be a bit of a stunner to realize that Moore, Charles and Montgomery are accounting for 57.4 percent of UConn's points this season and not only is that not a record, but it would not even place them in the top five.
Now for a bit of trivia.
The last time three UConn players accounted for at least 60 percent of the Huskies' points was in the 1992-93 season when Rebecca Lobo and Jennifer Rizzotti were UConn's top two scorers. Who finished third on the team in points scored that season? A hint: she was not a member of UConn's first national championship team two years later.
