HARTFORD, Conn. — For the past few seasons Rutgers has been the one Big East opponent to give Connecticut fits.

Now the Scarlet Knights are just another blowout win for the top-ranked Huskies.

Maya Moore scored 24 points and Kalana Greene added a season-high 17 to help Connecticut beat Rutgers, 75-56, last night.

"I said going into the game it's going to be played like a Big East final no matter what their record is and our record is," Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma said.

Connecticut (22-0, 8-0 Big East) has run over its opponents, winning by an average of 33 points. The Huskies have blown out No. 2 Oklahoma, dismantled then-No. 2 North Carolina and routed No. 5 Louisville. No team has come within single digits of UConn.

UConn is 22-0 for the first time since 2002-03 when the Huskies won their first 31 games before losing to Villanova in the Big East tournament. Connecticut was 21-0 last season before falling to Rutgers on Feb. 5. It was the Huskies' lone blemish before losing to Stanford in the Final Four.

Epiphanny Prince scored 19 points and Khadijah Rushdan added a career-high 18 to lead Rutgers (12-8, 4-5), which has five conference losses for the first time since 2003-04.

"We're not that good right now," Rutgers coach C. Vivian Stringer said. "We need to work hard. For us to be able to compete we have to pay attention to the little things."

Rutgers gave UConn all it could handle until the Huskies opened the second half with a 14-4 run to take control.

"It was back and forth there for a minute and then we just kind of took it away," said Moore, who added 10 rebounds for her 11th double-double of the season. "You've got to be patient. You can't get anxious or frustrated. Get stops and rebounds and then go to the other end."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Angel McCoughtry had 18 points and 20 rebounds for her 10th double-double of the season, and Deseree' Byrd added 12 points and 10 assists, leading the Cardinals (21-2, 8-1 Big East) past the Orange (14-8, 3-6).

PITTSBURGH — Senior guard Shavonte Zellous scored 29 points, surpassing 2,000 in her career, and Xenia Stewart and Taneisha Harrison both contributed 17 points as the Panthers (17-4, 7-2 Big East) beat the Irish (16-5, 5-4) for their sixth straight win.
