You'll excuse UConn fans if they're feeling a tad giddy. After freshman Maya Moore put up 17pts against the National team, she earned a nod from Taurasi -- "She's the man."

In the first game of the season against Stony Brook, she notched a double-double (21pts/10rebs - 8 offensive) in 20 minutes, adding 4 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks for good measure.

Last night against Holy Cross she only played 19 minutes. But you'd have thought her stats covered an entire game: 31pts on 14/16 shooting, most because she ran the floor with a vengance. She also had 4 assists, 4 steals, 3 blocks and 5 rebounds. Shown the stats before a post-game interview she shook her head. "Not enough rebounds."

UConn is off to St. Thomas for the Thanksgiving and the Paradise Jam (looks like you can watch the games online through WatchBTIHoops.com and maybe some Fox networks?) Other teams include Stanford, Duke, Purdue, Temple, ODU, Indiana, Texas A&M, Wake Forest and Witchita State.
