Interesting moment during the Notre Dame/UConn game on ESPN last night.

Looking at the games left on UConn's schedule -- including LSU and two, if not three, against #4 Rutgers -- you could sense Carolyn Peck thought the Huskies might run the table. **hears UConn fans making sacrifices to the mojo gods**

Said Peck (in a poorly paraphrased statement), "Tennessee won't have the chance to regain the top seeding since the regular season game between UConn & TN has been cancelled. And that top seed will likely go to Greensboro -- where TN would love to go."

Dems da breaks, huh?

Speaking of the game itself, the Huskies used a variety of weapons to silence the sold out (11,418) crowd in South Bend. First, Maya Moore scored the first 15pts, going 4-4 from behind the arc (she added a foul shot for a four-point-play.) ND coach Muffet McGraw instantly adjusted her defense, and Moore went scoreless for the rest of the game.

So Tina Charles stepped up and had a monster game (22/8). Later, it was Renee Montgomery who, having sat most of the first half with two fouls, waited until the 12 minute mark to score the first of her 12 points. None were more timely than the pull-up three that stiffled any hope of a Notre Dame run, and powered UConn to an 81-64 win over the #16 Irish.

The glue throughout, though, was Ketia Swanier, who notched 11 assists, five rebounds, and four steals in 32 minutes of play.
