Stat of the Game: Fouls: UConn 11, Rutgers 40 19

Summary: It took a few timeouts for the Huskies to get used to the officials letting almost EVERY foul go uncalled, but when they finally adjusted, it was a blowout by halftime. Led by All-American Maya Moore and Kalana Greene, UConn withstood very whistle-shy officials to more than doubled-up Rutgers in a 73-36 victory. I have never seen so many blatant fouls not get called in one game, especially a UConn-Rutgers match-up. Numerous times Moore and Tina Charles missed lay-ups due to a foul and even had a few made buckets that should have been "And Ones". UConn Head Coach Geno Auriemma decided to rest G Caroline Doty and replaced her with freshman G Kelly Faris who turned up the heat quite nicely on defense. The UConn backcourt combined to hold Rutgers' leading scorer Sr. G Brittany Ray to just 3pts. on 1-11 FG shooting (0-5 from 3 and 1-2 from the FT line).
