More love for the Huskies

It's a pretty safe assumption that the nation's sports writers have taken note of Maya Moore's impressive body of work this season.

The day after Moore was the only unanimous selection to the Associated Press All-American team, she was named the player of the year by the United States Basketball Writers Association. UConn's Geno Auriemma was also named the coach of the year while senior guard Renee Montgomery joined Moore on the 10-player first team while Tennessee's Shekinna Stricklen was selected as the freshman of the year.

Here's the complete All-American team
Jayne Appel, Stanford, F/C, 6-4, Jr., Pleasant Hill, Calif.
Chante Black, Duke, C, 6-5, Sr., Winston-Salem, N.C.
