1/1 Connecticut Huskies (20-0, 7-0 BE)

Results: Connecticut 71, South Florida 48
Player of the Game: Fr. SF Maya Moore
Defensive Player of the Game: Jr. PG Renee Montgomery
Freshman Player of the Game: Fr. SF Maya Moore
Stat of the Game: Rebounds: UConn 36, South Florida 39
Moore and Charles were named as two of the 31 mid-season candidates for the 2007-08 Naismith National Player of the Year Award as well as two of the 30 mid-season candidates for the 2007-08 Wooden Nation Player of the Year Award. Charles and Montgomery are finalists for the 2007-08 State Farm Wade Trophy (the highest honor among women's basketball awards) and if your wondering why UConn's best player isn't joining them on the list ask the dopes who created the NO FRESHMAN ALLOWED rule as the reason for Moore's absence.

And the NIGHTMARE known as the TORN ACL continues....


This time it is Sr. SG Mel Thomas who tore both her ACL and MCL in her right knee. Her career at UConn is OVER and I want to throw up...literally BIG CHUNKS. No surgery is set as of yet.

My heart breaks for Mel and her family and teammates. She optimized what it meant to wear Connecticut across your jersey. She played all out---all the time---and she will be missed, not only on the court but as a UConn Husky!!! We love you Mel and wish you a 150% fast and full recovery!!!
And we continue to wait on word regarding Mel's knee..........

6pm, 9pm........someone just tell us something but ONLY GOOD, PLEASE!!!!
Mel Thomas injured her right knee last night with two minutes to go in the game as the rest of the UConn Huskies fought off the pesky Orange of Syracuse to win 65-59. The extent of her knee injury will be determined after an MRI in done this morning in CT.
