PRE-GAME PRIMER

Heading out onto the court, I was treated to the UConn band's rendition of "Rocky" and the vision of Tahirah Williams beating her teammates to the court of the court. With their index fingers extended in the air, they followed with an impromptu dance. Yes, the nation's No. 1 team certainly looks nervous.

UConn is going with the starting lineup of Tiffany Hayes, Renee Montgomery, Kalana Greene, Tina Charles and Maya Moore for the 12th time in the last 13 games (the lone exception coming when Williams and Cassie Kerns started in place of Hayes and Moore on the Feb. 28 "Senior Night" game against Seton Hall).

Florida counters with Sha Brooks, Steffi Sorensen, Trumae Lucas, Sharielle Smith and Marshae Dotson.

The officials are Denise Brooks, Kathleen Lynch and Luis Gonzalez with Kathy Lonergan set to sit at the scorer's table as the alternate.

Montgomery will set a UConn record following the opening tip when she breaks Jen Rizzotti's program record by making her 136th straight start. She needs 21 minutes to break Ann Strother's mark for career minutes played.

Game is set to tip off at 7:11.
