The Huskies are smelling blood. As they walk off for a timeout, Renee Montgomery beckoned the crowd with her waving arms to get louder. Less than eight minutes away from the conference title.

As for Dixon and Houston, neither has hurt UConn. Dixon looks more poised than a month ago and made a great rebound while falling down and maintained her dribble. This is the kind of effort she needs to go into the conference tournament with some confidence.
