Charles passes Riley
The way Tina Charles is moving up the career scoring and rebounding charts, it's hard to keep track of it all but I still am a little red-faced that I missed the fact that the UConn senior passed former Notre Dame star Ruth Riley on the Big East's career rebounding list on Saturday.
Counting play in Big East regular season games only, Charles has 548 rebounds in 61 career Big East games (not including the Big East tournament). Riley pulled down 544 rebounds in 72 career conference games. Charles currently is 13th all-time on the Big East rebounding list but doesn't figure to stay there for very long. Next up is Providence's Andrea Magnum (550 rebounds). Villanova's Shelly Pennefather (553), Kym Hope of Miami (554), Georgetown's Sylita Thomas (557) and UConn's Jamelle Elliott (558) are all within range for Charles when the Huskies play at Syracuse on Wednesday. Charles also needs 26 points - the amount she scored against Providence on Saturday - for 1,000 points in her Big East career. She would become the 22nd player with 1,000 points in Big East regular-season play.
