Maya Moore scored 16 of her 25 points in the opening 9 minutes and seemingly invincible Connecticut took it from there to roll over Iowa State 74-36 in an NCAA regional semifinal Sunday.
Kelly Faris came off the bench for 16 points and Tina Charles also had 16 for the Huskies (36-0), who extended their unprecedented winning streak to 75 in a row.
The Huskies have won their first three games in the tournament by a combined 148 points - the most ever. UConn easily surpassed the previous mark of 131 it set in 2000 and 2001.
Anna Prins scored 10 points for Iowa State (25-8), which fell far short of duplicating the biggest win in program history. The Cyclones had stunned top-seeded UConn 64-58 in the regional semis in 1999.
Not this time. The Huskies limited them to just 28 shooting from the field and the outcome was never in doubt after Moore hit her first four 3-pointers.
DAYTON, Ohio (AP) - Courtney Ward scored Florida State's last six points in the final 38 seconds, leading the way to a victory over Mississippi State.
The Seminoles (29-5) advance to meet No. 1-seeded Connecticut (36-0), which beat Iowa State in the earlier semi, in Tuesday night's regional final.
Alysha Harvin had 21 points and Ward 14 as the Seminoles earned their first spot ever in a regional title game.
Chanel Mokango scored 20 points and Mary Kathryn Govero had 19 for the Lady Bulldogs (21-13), who went deeper in the tournament this year than ever before.
After Ward hit two free throws with 8.1 seconds left, Alexis Rack pumped up a tying 3 from in front of her bench that was just long.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - A'dia Mathies scored 21 points and a quicker, more athletic Kentucky roared past Nebraska and into the finals of the Kansas City Regional.
The Wildcats (28-7), extending their school-record win total, opened the second half on an 11-1 run and led by as many as 19 points over the Big 12 champion Huskers, who saw an abrupt end to the most successful season in the history of their own program.
Several thousand red-clad Nebraska fans tried to help fuel a late rally by the Huskers (32-2) when Lindsey Moore's 3-pointer cut the lead to 68-56 with 3:52 to go. But the Wildcats, picked 11th in the Southeastern Conference preseason poll, held on to make their first regional final, where they'll meet Oklahoma.
Dominique Kelley had 22 points for Nebraska and Kelsey Griffin added 15 points and 12 rebounds.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Nyeshia Stevenson made a 3-pointer with 4.4 seconds left in overtime and Oklahoma knocked off Notre Dame 77-72 to reach the regional finals for the second year in a row.
Stevenson had 21 points and Abi Olajuwon added 20 points and 14 rebounds for the Sooners (26-10), who lost to Notre Dame in overtime in the second round in 2008.
Oklahoma muffed a chance to win at the end of regulation, as Danielle Robinson slipped 30 feet from the basket. But in OT, Stevenson calmly drilled a 3 from the corner that proved to be the winner.
Notre Dame then chucked a baseball pass about 75 feet, but Stevenson snagged it and knocked down two free throws to seal the win.
Melissa Lechlitner had 22 points to lead Notre Dame (29-6), which lost its fourth straight regional semifinal dating back to 2001 - when it won it all.
