Perfect Love

Maya Moore, Renee Montgomery, and Tina Charles are good. They led UCONN through a perfect season and to a national championship. They are each the best in the country at their respective positions. It's not difficult to see why. Every game it seemed like they were grown women facing little children. No team even came close to them this year. Never did a UCONN game end with a single digit margin of victory.

An upset of sorts did occur Tuesday night. Louisville led during the contest. Once the teams reached double digits, UCONN never looked back and coasted to a 76-54 win. Louisville only had one legitimate player, Angel McCoughtry, who poured in 23 points. UCONN's three more than countered McCoughtry's performance. Montgomery scored 18, Moore had 18 with 9 rebounds and 5 assists, while Charles scored 25 and grabbed 19 rebounds.

While Montgomery will probably be playing the WNBA in a couple of months, Moore, who is a sophomore, and Charles who is a junior, will both be back to do it all again next year. A scary proposition for the rest of college basketball.
