 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Tina Charles' teammates sensed the Connecticut freshman was poised to have a breakout performance against South Florida.
"She was really focused during warmups, and you can look in her eyes and tell when Tina is going to dominate on both ends of the court," Huskies forward Charde Houston said after Charles scored a UConn freshman-record 34 points to pace an 81-67 victory Tuesday night.
The 6-foot-4 center from the same New York high school that produced Sue Bird, Chamique Holdsclaw and Lamar Odom also grabbed 17 rebounds — two shy of her personal best — to break the Huskies' freshman season mark for total rebounds.
