Moore and Dolson sweep Big East awards
UConn's Maya Moore was named the Big East Player of the Week for a record-tying seventh time after averaging 31.5 points, 10.0 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game while shooting 75.8 percent from the floor and 66.7 percent from 3-point range in wins over Duke and DePaul. Moore had 29 points, nine rebounds and seven assists against No. 3 Duke. Moore had 34 points, 11 rebounds and six assists against No. 9 DePaul.
During the 1997-98 season Nykesha Sales won seven Big East player of the week honors while Louisville's Angel McCoughtry matched the feat in the 2008-09 season. With 11 career player of the week awards, Moore is one shy of the Big East record shared by McCoughtry and former UConn star Rebecca Lobo.
Stefanie Dolson was named the conference's freshman of the week for the first time as she averaged 14.5 points and 9.0 rebounds per game and shot 72.2 percent from the field. Dolson had eight points, 12 rebounds and two blocks against Duke and then had a career-high 21 points as well as six rebounds against DePaul.

Maya Moore will end up with career statistics eerily similar to Chamique Holdsclaw.
Chamique Holdsclaw scored 3025 points and pulled down 1295 rebounds for Tennessee. Chamique won 3 NCCA Championships as a Lady Vol. Holdsclaw holds the NCAA tournament career records for 479 points and 198 rebounds.
Maya Moore has scored 2731 points and pulled down 1153 rebounds in her UConn career so far. If UConn reached the NCAA Championship game that would mean Maya has 16 games remaining in her UConn career, counting tonight's West Virginia game.
Maya would need to average 18.4 points per game and 8.9 rebounds per game in 16 games to tie Chamique Holdsclaw. Unless the Huskies are upset in the Big East tournament or the NCAA tournament, Maya Moore has a great chance to top Chamique Holdsclaw's totals.
