Setting the stage for UConn/Seton Hall

We're about 10 minutes away from the start of the UConn/Seton Hall game.

This is the 12th game in a row that UConn started Maya Moore, Tiffany Hayes, Kelly Faris, Stefanie Dolson and Bria Hartley.

Seton Hall countered with Kashmere Joseph, Ka-Deirdre Simmons, Jazzmine Johnson, Jasmine Crew and Whitney Wood.

UConn moved back to the top spot in the Associated Press national poll on Monday so this will be the 298th game the Huskies have played as the No. 1 team in the AP poll. UConn's record as the top-ranked team is 285-12.

UConn has won its last 26 games against Seton Hall, 41 of the last 42 and UConn coach Geno Auriemma is 43-2 all time against the Pirates.

The game features a pair of Olympic coaches as Seton Hall's Anne Donovan led the United States to the 2008 gold medal while UConn's Geno Auriemma will be coaching the U.S. at the 2012 Olympics.

Bria Hartley, coming off a career-high 29 points against Notre Dame on Saturday, is looking to become the first UConn freshman with consecutive 20-point games since Maya Moore had 24 and 25 points against Texas and Old Dominion in the 2008 NCAA tournament.

Moore needs 28 points to move by former Oklahoma State star Andrea Riley and into 13th place on the NCAA Division I all-time scoring list.
