UConn routed Rutgers last night at the RAC, winning 70-44 to finish undefeated in the Big East at 16-0. (Geno's Big East POTY non-pick) Montgomery put on a (My POTY) Harding-like performance, hitting big shot after big shot to push the lead to its eventual 26-point margin. Thomas finally showed up and showed up BIG against a tough-defensive-ranked opponent (on the road) going 4-5 from 3-point range. The Big East Champions will now be the #1 seed in the Big East Tournament and play the winner of Sat.'s South Florida/Seton Hall game on Sun. at 2pm.
