ATLANTA (AP) — Maya Moore is returning to her roots on Sunday, and she’s bringing along quite a treat for the home folks.
Moore’s top-ranked Connecticut Huskies have a shot at equaling the longest winning streak in women’s basketball history when they face Georgia Tech.
UConn (2-0) is on an 80-game winning streak, which barely stayed alive Tuesday when the Huskies held off No. 2 Baylor 65-64. Now, it’s off to a city that Moore knows well.
Growing up, she honed her game at gyms around Atlanta before starring at suburban Collins Hill High School. She headed north to play her college ball at the powerhouse of women’s basketball, but UConn coach Geno Auriemma made sure to throw his star player a bone by scheduling a game back home during her senior season.
