PRE-GAME PRIMER

Time is ticking down as the clock is approaching 30 minutes until tip-off.

This is UConn's sixth appearance in the national championship game and the Huskies are 5-0 having won titles in 1995, 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2004.

Renee Montgomery needs 28 points to become the sixth UConn with 2,000 career points. Kalana Greene needs 10 points for 1,000.

Once the ball is thrown up, Montgomery will set an NCAA record by playing in her 150th career game. Former UConn standout Ashley Battle holds the record of 149 games.

If UConn wins by at least 10 points, the Huskies will be the first team in NCAA women's basketball history to win every game by double-digit margins.

The officials are Lisa Mattingly, Dee Kantner and Clarke Stevens with Sue Blauch the alternate.

Louisville's starting lineup is Candyce Bingham, Angel McCoughtry, Gwen Rucker, Tiera Stephen and Deseree Byrd while UConn will go with Maya Moore, Tiffany Hayes, Tina Charles, Renee Montgomery and Kalana Greene.
