Perfect again! UConn beats Stanford for title
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
04/06/2010 - San Antonio, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Connecticut is perfect again, but this time the Huskies' second straight national championship took a big detour in the title game.
The Huskies scored just 12 points in the first half against Stanford, but roared in the second half to post a 53-47 victory over the Cardinal in the NCAA Tournament women's championship game at the Alamodome.
Maya Moore scored 18 of her 23 points after halftime as the Huskies finished off a second straight perfect campaign, extending their winning streak to an incredible 78 games. Only UCLA's men have a longer winning streak, posting 88 victories in a row.
Moore was named the tournament's MVP.
The Huskies (39-0) missed 16 straight shots at one point in the first half and were behind 20-12 at the break, but Moore led the way in the final 20 minutes as UConn took over and moved to 7-0 all-time in national championship games.
Stanford (36-2) and the Huskies played for the second time this season and exactly two years to the day of UConn's last loss, 82-73, to the Cardinal at the 2008 Final Four. Stanford played the Huskies tough for a half earlier this season, but lost 80-68, in Hartford on December 23. The Cardinal held a 40-38 halftime lead in that December contest, but were dominated in the second half.
Same story on Tuesday as the Huskies repeated as national champs. Just about the only streak that was broken was UConn's double-digit margin. Before Tuesday, the Huskies had won all of their games during their victory streak by at least 10 points.
