A few numbers worth considering from tonight's Big East final.

Since UConn reached its first Big East championship game in 1989, the Huskies have played for the title every year but 1993 and 2004. If UConn wins, Maya Moore and Lorin Dixon would be the first players to win four straight titles since Sue Bird, Swin Cash, Asjha Jones and Tamika Williams accomplished the feat from 1999-2002.

If Moore is named the tournament's most outstanding player, she would join UConn's Kara Wolters and Shelly Pennefather of Villanova as the only two-time winners of the award. Wolters, currently the color commentator for UConn's games on the UConn Radio Network, won the award in 1995 and 1996.

Notre Dame is making its fifth appearance in the Big East final but it 0-4 losing to UConn in the 1996, 1997, 1999 and 2001 championship games. The 2001 final is the subject of the "Bird at the Buzzer" book written by Jeff Goldberg, a former UConn women's basketball beat writer for the Hartford Courant.

Maya Moore needs eight points to move into sole possession of 10th place on list of the NCAA Division I all-time scorers. LSU's Joyce Walker currently stands 10th with 2,706 points while Moore has 2,899 points. Penn State's Kelly Mazzante is next on the list with 2,719 points.

With 36 points in the first two games, Stefanie Dolson already stands fifth on Big East tournament scoring list for UConn freshmen. Diana Taurasi set the mark with 53 points in 2001, Svetlana Abrosimova had 49 points in 1998 while Wolters and Carla Berube had 46 and 38 points in the 1994 tourney.
