Last night, UConn scrapped its way to a win over the quick, physical Mountaineers. Led by Houston, Greene, and Charles, the Huskies put together another late-1st half run that put the game away as UConn toppled West Virginia 63-44. Houston broke out of her mini-slump to find a rhythm and finish with 16 pts. and 9 rebs. while Greene burnt them with the same back door play 3 times to finish with 15 pts. and 9 rebs. Charles came off the bench to finish with another double-double (this time against a good center and defender...Sanni) 13 pts., 12 rebs., and 2 blks. The turnover prone Huskies used a 25-6 run to end the first half, but managed to score only 23 pts. the entire 2nd half.

They now turn their sole attention to Tennessee for Saturday's annual grudge-match and hope to finally have a healthy Hunter back on the court to help in the middle. WVU coach Carey says UConn is more physical than Tennessee but they have more 3-pt shooters, and we should continue to kick it inside and try to get Parker in foul trouble...I have a feeling it will end up being the typical UC-UT game where nothing happens or goes how it was supposed to based on the scouting report.
