Huskies’ senior All-American Maya Moore had a game-high 15 points, three rebounds, five assists and two steals in 24 minutes to lead the U.S. to a 108-52 rout of Senegal in preliminary round play today at the 2010 FIBA World Championship in Ostrava, Czech Republic. Six players scored in double figures for the U.S., which shot 61.1 percent from the field.
Swin Cash added 11 points and five rebounds in 16 minutes. Tina Charles had 11 points and three rebounds in 15 minutes.
The U.S (2-0) will meet France Saturday in its final preliminary round game at 9:15 a.m. (NBA TV). The U.S. will then move on to the second round in Ostrava Sept. 27-29.

Miss Maya has Not been terrible, of course.
Coach Auriemma has made Comments about her Defensive Play and being a College Player on the International Scene.
Miss Maya “leads” Team USA with 10 Turnovers in 3 games.
And she continues to Shoot Short occassionally like she has done at UConn. That usually is a Sign of either being Tight or Fatigued.
Hope that Miss Maya can be as good as DT3 was her Junior/Senior seasons.
Yes, Maya is taking her lumps against those “other countries best players”. LOL Versus Senegal she was the GAME’S leading scorer! Against France she is the games leading rebounder and almost gets a double-double. Maybe she will snap out of it in the medal round?
Maya Moore is learning there is a huge difference playing against other countries best players versus NCAA players.
Hopefully this will help make Miss Maya become a more fierce competitor like Diana Taurasi was at UConn.
