WBCA Classic, a look back

Not too many surprises as UConn rolled past overmatched Hofstra, Richmond and Clemson by an average of 44.3 points to run its winning streak to 45 games.

Tina Charles was named the tournament most outstanding player, averaging 16.7 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. Kalana Greene was the story in Sunday's 87-48 crushing of Clemson with a career-high 28 points. Charles and Greene were joined on the all-tournament team by teammates Maya Moore and Tiffany Hayes, Clemson's Lele Hardy and Brittani Shells of Richmond.

Caroline Doty played just 10 minutes and did not play the final 18:11. UConn coach Geno Auriemma said it was more of a case of not wanting to overdo it with Doty's surgically-repaired knee and that Doty was dealing with a bit of the flu bug.

Highly-touted Betnijah Laney, a 6-foot wing who is a junior at Smyrna High in Delaware, was in the stands.

UConn student Mike Carson of Naugatuck won $1000 after hitting a layup, free throw (on his fourth attempt), 3-pointer and half-court heave.
