HARTFORD, Conn. -- The University of Connecticut's women's basketball team was named Big East champions Tuesday night.

Maya Moore scored 28 points and top-ranked Connecticut cruised to its 15th Big East tournament championship with a 75-36 victory over No. 5 Louisville.

When the sensational sophomore walked off the floor with eight minutes left, she had single-handedly outscored Louisville 28-27.

Moore was selected the tournament's most outstanding performer.

The Huskies (33-0) have now won four of the last five conference tournament titles and enter the NCAAs unbeaten for the fourth time in school history. UConn went on to win the national championship in 1995 and 2002. In 1996-97 they lost to Tennessee in the regional final.

Connecticut's road to a sixth national championship will begin on March 22 at home in Storrs as the Huskies host the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament.

All-Big East forward Angel McCoughtry was held to nine points to lead Louisville (29-4).
