UConn brings 90-game winning streak to Stanford

UConn brings 90-game winning streak to Stanford

Published Dec. 29, 2010 7:04 p.m. ET

Top-ranked Connecticut owns the 90-game winning streak that started after a loss to Stanford in the 2008 NCAA semifinals. The Cardinal have their own impressive streak: 51 consecutive victories on their home floor in Maples Pavilion.

On Thursday night, one of these long runs will go down. The game that has been circled on calendars for months is finally here - a rematch of last season's NCAA championship game.

Can Stanford stop UConn star Maya Moore and company after coming so close in a 53-47 loss in the title game?

The Huskies are short-handed after reserve guard Lorin Dixon sprained her foot in practice this week. Coach Geno Auriemma doesn't sound too confident that UConn will be able to match up so well this time.
