Updated Wednesday, March 10, 2010 10:49 am TWN, AP UConn wins NCAA record 71st straight gameTina Charles scored 16 points and Maya Moore added 11 to help UConn win an NCAA record 71st straight game, a 59-44 victory over No. 6 Notre Dame in the semifinals of the Big East tournament. The Huskies didn't gloat, though. They didn't even celebrate. Just another night's work for coach Geno Auriemma's latest dynasty. At the final horn they just shook hands with the Irish - the way they have with opponents after nearly every other game during their incredible streak. “I can't think anything is more important than winning and playing in the Big East championship for these kids,” Auriemma said. UConn surpassed its own mark set from Nov. 9, 2001, to March 11, 2003. Unlike that amazing run, which ended in a loss in the Big East conference tournament semifinals to Villanova, this Huskies team has thoroughly dominated its opponents in every game, winning all of them by double digits.
