Montgomery, Moore honored again

The honors continue to pour in for UConn's Renee Montgomery and Maya Moore who were named to the John R. Wooden women's All-American team on Thursday.

Montgomery and Moore become the first set of teammates to be named Wooden All-Americans in the six years a team has been selected.

They were joined by Oklahoma's Courtney Paris, the first four-time Wooden All-American, Angel McCoughtry of Louisville and Kristi Toliver of Maryland.
