HARTFORD, CONN.--- The UCONN Huskie women wallop the Seminoles of Florida State 93-62 for their 89 straight win.
The No. I ranked Huskies women's basketball team topped the 88-game winning streak set by the legendary great John Wooden's UCLA men's team from 1971-74. The Huskie women showed a lot of tenacity and true grit and their work ethic on the court was overwhelming.
Mr. Wooden's UCLA team's 88 straight games will stand by itself and the Lady Huskies 89 straight games is also an exceptional extraordinary accomplishment, which is in the same category of the UCLA's 88 straight game streak.

What can I say about Maya Moore who played like Pete Rose on the baseball diamond. Maya and her teammates were so well prepared to play the game against the upstart Lady Seminoles. And their love for the game and intensity showed in every thing they did on the court, which is a tribute to coach Geno Auriemma and his excellent assistants and staff.
Maya is so fluid, and graceful when moving without the ball and she reminds me of a young Michael Jordan.

Maya Moore had a double-double with a career-high 41 points and 10 rebounds and the highly talented freshmen from New York Bria Harley added 21 points for the Huskies, who have not lost since April 6, 2008, in the NCAA tournament semifinals.
I don't care whether Maya Moore is part of another Lady Huskie National Championship team or not she is the best and greatest basketball player in UCONN history. Maya is a better re bounder and post-up player than Diana Taurasi, and she can do all the other things that Taurasi does well on the court. Both Maya Moore and Diana Taurasi were great leaders on and off the court, and that's what makes them true champions.

I enjoy watching women's basketball on the collegiate level because its so pure and they play fundamentally sounder basketball than the men.

* Records were made to be broken. And some day Joe DiMaggio's 56 consecutive game hitting streak will also be broken.
