In the first 1:58 of Wednesday's game against Rutgers, Maya Moore took and missed three shots. She would end up missing 12 of her 19 shots and for the first time this season would have back to back games when she shot less than 50 percent from the field.

So Moore went about contributing in other ways. By game's end, she would pull down a season-high 16 rebounds and post her third straight double-double as UConn defeated Rutgers 63-44.

“Any time I am in the game, it is a mindset especially on the road if you don’t rebound you are going to be eaten alive,” said Moore, who could match her career high for consecutive double-doubles when UConn plays at Cincinnati on Saturday. “My team looks to me to do a lot of things but rebounding is something that makes us tougher. That is something we are going to show every night. If I am not rebounding, how can I expect Stefanie Dolson to rebound or expect Kelly Faris to rebound. That is something the coaching staff has been trying to emphasize to the upperclassmen that you can’t move forward if people who have been here don’t take care of their responsibilities.”
