Holy Cross has squared off with some of the best UConn teams during Bill Gibbons' tenure with the Crusaders but never did Holy Cross get run off the court any more emphatically than during UConn's 117-37 win over Sunday.

Gibbons was asked about how this UConn team compares to some of the other Connecticut squads.

"When you know how to win and that jersey is about winning, I think that is infectious and contagious and I think teams, until somebody beats them, are going to think what's going to happen and the UConn guys are going to think 'we are going to find a way to win,'" Gibbons said. "They have the best player in the country in Maya Moore. Yeah, they lost a lot on paper but that aura and mystique. I think he (UConn coach Geno Auriemma) is going to play on that and I think his guys are going to play on that. They are certainly not as talented as last year but I think that aura and that mystique is going to help them."

The UConn mystique will be tested when No. 2 Baylor comes to town for Tuesday's 6 p.m. game at the XL Center. There are about 3,300 tickets remaining for the game. Geno Auriemma was asked about Baylor and the 79-game winning streak, which is in jeapordy against Baylor and there will be plenty on what he had to say tomorrow and Tuesday.

Speaking of the win streaks, I found it curious that Wayland Baptist's 131-game streak in the 1950s - even though it happened before the NCAA began to govern the sport of women's college basketball - gets almost no mention. I was able to track down one of Wayland Baptist's players during the streak and the story on the Wayland Baptist streak will appear in Monday's edition of the Register.
