Summary: For a team that had only a 1-5 record in the Big East, Pittsburgh put up the points in the first half to maybe hang with UConn by scoring 32pts. Unfortunately for Pitt, UConn scored 57pts. in the first half. Once again, the Huskies had its starters on the bench by the 12min. mark in the second half and yet they still ended up pounding the Panthers, 98-56. Coming in only 17pts. from the 2,000-pt. milestone, All-American Tina Charles reached the mark with 5mins. still to go in the first half on an offensive rebound-putback. She finished the game with 24p/9r/3a/3b in 27mins. Fellow All-American W Maya Moore finished with 22p/7r and tied a career-high with 8asts. in 26mins. Charles becomes the 6th player in UConn history to reach the 2000-pt. plateau. Congratulations, Tina Baby!!!
