NORMAN, Okla. — Tiffany Hayes
scored 20 points, Maya Moore added 18 points and 10 rebounds and
top-ranked Connecticut got a rare second-half scare before pulling away
to beat No. 11 Oklahoma 76-60 Monday night and extend its unbeaten
streak to 65 straight games.
Making their last foray outside Big
East play before the postseason, the Huskies (26-0) trailed in the
second half for only the second time this season, but Moore had six
points during a 13-2 response as UConn regained control.
Oklahoma (18-7) rallied back from a
14-point, first-half deficit and led with 16 minutes left before
Connecticut clamped down and started forcing the Sooners to settle for
jump shots.
Danielle Robinson scored 18 points to
lead Oklahoma, and Amanda Thompson added 16 points and 13 rebounds.
