03/01/2010 - South Bend, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tina Charles posted 18 points and eight rebounds while becoming the Huskies' all-time leading scorer and rebounder, as top-ranked Connecticut finished off its second straight undefeated regular season with a 76-51 drubbing of Notre Dame at the Joyce Center.
The Huskies' (30-0, 16-0 Big East) win streak now sits at 69, one shy of the NCAA Division I women's basketball record, which was also achieved by UConn from 2001-03. They will have a chance to tie the mark in the quarterfinals of the Big East Tournament on March 7 at the XL Center.
This is the sixth perfect regular season in the program's history and its eighth flawless run through the conference.
The 6-foot-4 Charles moved past Nykesha Sales (2,178) for the point lead and Rebecca Lobo (1,268) for the rebounding crown.
Maya Moore, who as a junior will likely challenge those new plateaus, posted 17 points and nine boards, while Kalana Greene chipped in 12 and nine in another resounding win for the Huskies.
Tiffany Hayes and Caroline Doty ended with 13 and 11 points, respectively, for the victors.
Devereaux Peters and Becca Bruszewski each netted 15 points for the Fighting Irish (25-4, 12-4), who dropped three of their final five games of the regular season.
Leading scorer Skylar Diggins went 2-for-10 from the field and scored eight points for Notre Dame, which lost both bouts to UConn by a combined 146-97 score.
Bruszewski single-handedly kept the Irish in it in the first half, as her three-pointer pulled the hosts within 16-15 at the midway point.
The Huskies scored the next 10 points though, capped by a Doty three-point play for a 26-15 lead.
UConn, which has beaten 11 ranked opponents this season, was up 36-23 at the break, and its lead never dipped below double digits in the second half.
The only other undefeated team in women's hoops is Nebraska (27-0).

Two playoff teams from 2007 take center stage on the NFL Network Sunday night in a Week 2 NFL betting match-up when the (0-1) New England Patriots betting head south to Florida for a contest with the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
New England HC Bill Belichick couldn’t care less about the way his team plays in the preseason. With a chance to tie last week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens betting, He elected to go for the two-point conversion and outright victory. The conversion failed, and the Pats ended up falling to the Ravens by a 16-15 final count.
New England rolled off twelve unanswered points to give it a chance at securing the victory, but it never threatened to cover the 3.5-point spread. NFL bettors saw this one coming, as they bet the Ravens down from +6 to +3.5 as the week progressed. QB Tom Brady didn’t take part in the Patriots first preseason clash, but could see action this weekend.
His three replacements all put up embarrassing numbers. They went a combined 17 for 33, and threw three interceptions and no touchdowns. The New England defense was encouraging, as they held the Ravens to 2/12 third down conversions and surrendered just ten first downs. That ‘D’ should be bolstered with the addition of former Bucs and Denver Broncos betting safety John Lynch, who could make his Patriots debut on Sunday against his former mates.
HC Jon Gruden had to be impressed with the way his Bucs played on both sides of the ball in their dominating 17-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1’s NFL pre-season betting action. Bucs bettors were quite happy with the effort, as they made a mockery of the fact that they were underdogs in the game.
The logjam at the quarterback position didn’t get any easier to separate for Gruden, as all four of his QBs had positive experiences in the first exhibition of 2008. The four combined to complete 28 of their 40 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and that was without starting QB Jeff Garcia in the lineup.
RB Michael Bennett had 19 carries and four receptions, totaling 90 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see more of Bennett, Kenneth Darby, and Earnest Graham, as they all compete for playing time with Warrick Dunn in the backfield this season. Defensively, the Bucs recorded four sacks and held the Fins offense in check all day.
First round draft pick Aqib Talib was impressive in the secondary, recording a tackle and two pass defenses in his debut. Don’t be surprised to see Talib in the starting lineup opposite Ronde Barber for the Bucs in ’08.
The betting trends suggest that NFL bettors should be backing the Bucs in this intra-conference exhibition.
These two teams hooked up last year in Tampa Bay, with the Bucs winning that game 13-10. The Buccaneers have only lost one preseason game at home dating back to the beginning of the ’05 preseason. The Patriots have had a mixed bag of results in their recent exhibitions. They have gone 2-2 ATS and SU each of the last three years.
New England currently sits as modest 1-point favorites in this preseason showdown with the ‘total’ now sitting at 34.5.
