UConn slowed down Courtney Paris and completely stifled the rest of the Sooners on its way to an easy win. Charde Houston had 22 and Mel Thomas had 20.

"I told them the game would be won on the offensive end," coach Geno Auriemma said. "Good offensive players and teams can get into a rhythm where you just can't stop them. You have to get them on their heels defensively. And I thought we were unbelievably aggressive on the offensive end."

Paris was held to season lows in points and rebounds — 19 and 6. "Instead of two Oklahoma Christian girls boxing you out, there are two All-American girls boxing you out," she said. "I just was not tough enough. I have to be a lot tougher, and this game taught me that."
