Once the game and press conference ended following UConn's 89-66 win over DePaul, my curiousity got the better of me and I was curious when the last time UConn shot 67.9 percent from the field as it did on Saturday.

So I went back in the archives section on the UConn website and back and back. It is the best effort since UConn shot 68 percent (making 34 of 50 shots) in a game at Georgetown on Feb. 26, 2003.

In the first half UConn was 16 from 21 inside the 3-point line and of those five misses, three times the Huskies grabbed the misses and scored. Now that is a textbook display of offensive execution (outside of the 13 first-half turnovers).

Leading the way were Maya Moore and Stefanie Dolson who combined to go 24 of 29 from the floor. Moore finished with 34 points to set a NCAA Division I record by scoring in double figures for the 135th time. She also passed Seimone Augustus and Courtney Paris to move into 18th place on the NCAA Division I career scoring list. Dolson had a career-high 21 points.

"Maya, you've seen her do that a lot," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. "Maya's got the ability that once she gets it going like that it just piles up with her, so there's no surprise there. Stefanie's been getting better and better every day. I know people that haven't seen her in a while are amazed at the change in her in such a short amount of time. This was by far her best game since being at Connecticut. Not just the points, but the way she moved and the things she did. It was by far the best she's played."

Kelly Faris had nine assists and seven went to Moore. She also played stifling defense in holding Sam Quigley scoreless in the first half.

Tiffany Hayes improved to 100-1 as a player at UConn and had 12 points, six rebounds, four assists and three steals.

Former career scoring leader Kerry Bascom-Poliquin was honored as part of National Girls and Women's in Sports Day for her impact in the world of the women's basketball world. Bascom was UConn's first women's basketball All-American and led the Huskies to their first Final Four in 1991.

USA Basketball Women's National Team Director Carol Callan was on hand to present not only the FIBA World Championship trophy but also to give out rings to Auriemma, the U.S. head coach, DePaul's Doug Bruno (an assistant coach on the team), Maya Moore and video coordinator Keith Anderson.

Spring Valley (S.C.) junior forward Xylina McDaniel, the daughter of former NBA star Xavier McDaniel, appeared to having a great time as she sat two rows behind the UConn bench. McDaniel and her mother were in attendance as part of Xylina's visit.

Almost lost in UConn's impressive effort is that the Huskies stand alone as the only undefeated team in Big East play.

"It is huge," Moore said. "This year we might have to go undefeated to win the regular season (title). There are a lot of talented teams, a lot of confident teams in the Big East and we needed to play well every time it is a Big East game because we don't want to leave it to somebody else losing for us to win the regular season."
