Baylor's Odyssey Sims struggled through one of her worst offensive nights -- and won. UConn's Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis made a strong case as an All-American -- and lost. It was that kind of night at the XL Center, where two halves told two distinctly different stories.

After looking like it belonged on the court in the first half, Duke looked like it didn't want to be there in the second half as Kelly Faris and Connecticut took control and cruised to victory.

In two games in four days, Kelly Faris' defense helped keep two All-Americans in check -- and UConn undefeated as the Huskies beat No. 10 Penn State on Thursday.

She's a 6-foot-4 freshman forward who has yet to score her first point for UConn. But if the Huskies are to be more than the best of the rest after Baylor, it's likely to have a lot to do with Breanna Stewart.

Through most of this season, it was never clear who the Huskies could count on to lead the way. But Tuesday, with a very animated Geno Auriemma spearheading the effort, UConn jelled to win the Big East tourney title.

Notre Dame is a team sure of who it is and how it wins. The Huskies, however, look on the verge of finding their identity again.

As her UConn teammates struggled in the first half against Stanford on Monday, freshman Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis rose to the occasion -- just like another former Huskies player who once wore No. 23.
