Moore was named Big East Freshman of the Week today for the 3rd time this season after scoring 21 pts and having 7 rebs, 2 asts, 1 stl and 1 blk while helping UConn defeat Hartford 70-24. What is so impressive is that in only 31 minutes, Moore ended the game only 3 points shy of Hartford's total for the game on 9-12 shooting (3-5 3pt).

Bad News: Greene is done for the season. She tore her right ACL during the South Carolina game and will have surgery on Friday. The only good news that came out of UConn today was that she is still eligible to redshirt this season and will have two years remaining when she returns. Our prayers go out to her and her family and we hope for a fast and full recovery.
