Maya on verge of another record

If UConn defeats Purdue on Tuesday night, she would improve to 148-3 in her time at UConn. The 148 wins would match the NCAA Division I record set by her former teammate Kalana Greene.

Greene was 148-9 in her five seasons at UConn including the injury-shortened 2007-08 season.

Moore and fellow senior Lorin Dixon can become the first UConn players to go four seasons without losing a home game with a victory against the Boilermakers. UConn is 80-0 at home since their arrival - 39-0 at Gampel Pavilion and 41-0 at the XL Center.

"It really makes me think of how privileged I've been to have great coaches and teammates to protect that home court record," Moore said. "I have played with some really special players. Depending on when you come into a program, you don't always get the groups that we have had. We've had some close calls in this building. The one that comes to mind is North Carolina my freshman year and we came back (from an 11-point deficit at halftime) to win that game. There have been some great games here. I don't think there's been any other group that has protected that home court as much as the groups I have been a part of."

Moore has averaged 20.4 points

Here's a look at how some of UConn's best players fared in their final game at Gampel Pavilion.
