Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4540174, member: 5798"] I get it. That's the same way Moriah Jefferson became one of my favorite players. It happened during the 66-55 win @ Baylor on 1/13/2014. She was everywhere and was just a royal pain in the butt to Baylor. One of the best games I saw her play in 4 years. She had 13,6,5,& 4 in 38 minutes. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1676737220362.png"]84209[/ATTACH] No. 1 UConn ends Baylor's 69-game home winning streak. Jefferson is the only UConn player from Texas (Glenn Heights in the Dallas area). She had a breakaway layup and a 3-pointer for the first five Huskies points of the game. She then had a steal and stumbled but kept her balance long enough to scoop a pass to Hartley for a layup that made it 10-7. WACO, Texas -- Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma was as anxious as anyone to see how his top-ranked Huskies would handle a close game. They responded in another streak-busting performance. Breanna Stewart made a short baseline jumper with 10½ minutes left, starting a game-ending 16-6 run after No. 7 Baylor had closed within one point, and the Huskies went on to a 66-55 victory Monday night to snap the Lady Bears' national-best 69-game home winning streak. There was certain possession that we had to win those possessions, and we did," Auriemma said. "Even though we were up the whole time, it never seemed liked it was going to get away from them. ... We were timely." Stewart had 18 points and 11 rebounds in a matchup of the last two national champions. Defending champ UConn (18-0) won its closest game this season, having beaten their first five ranked opponents by an average margin of 22 points, with the closest being 17 points. Moriah Jefferson had 13 points and Stefanie Dolson 10 for UConn, which has won 24 in a row overall. That matches the sixth-longest winning streak in school history and is their second 24-game winning streak since their record 90 in a row ended in December 2010. Sims, who entered the contest with 31.8 points per game, finished with 20 points on only 4-of-25 shooting. She made all 10 of her free throws, none after halftime. She didn't score for the final 10:53 of the game (Moriah guarded her during the 2nd half). UConn was 40-0 that year. :D [/QUOTE]
