Reunion time in Texas

When Maya Moore reflects back on the summer of 2006 when she helped the U.S. win the FIBA Americas U18 Championship for Women, one of the enduring memories is the infectious personality of teammate Brittainey Raven.

Raven, a senior guard at Texas, will be reunited with Moore and UConn senior center Tina Charles when UConn and Texas play tonight at 9:30 p.m. at the AT&T Center in San Antonio.

"I remember playing with her on USA Basketball when I was 17," Moore said. "She's funny, she has a great personality, she is one of those people you always remember. She is very talented, quick and has a lethal shot.

Looking back to the U.S. Under-18 team the trio played on, Charles was the leading scorer (12.0) and rebounder (9.5), Moore averaged 9.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and had a team-high 15 steals in the four games while Raven averaged 3.3 points and 2.7 rebounds as the U.S. defeated Paraguay, Brazil, Argentina and Canada by an average of more than 40 points.
