The agreement runs from the academic year through and calls for CPTV to televise a minimum of 68 UConn women s basketball games over the fouryear contract period. "The UConn Division of Athletics and Connecticut Public Television have the most unique partnership in college sports television today," says UConn Director of Athletics Jeffrey Hathaway, picutured above with Jerrry Franklin of CPTV. "We are very pleased to announce that our partnership with CPTV to provide local market television coverage of Husky women s basketball games will continue through the season.

(November 20,2005) - Tournament Most Valuable Player Mel Thomas (Cincinnati, Ohio) scored 20 points on eight of nine shooting and Charde Houston (San Diego, Calif.) had 22 points as No.9/7 Connecticut easily defeated No.25/22 Oklahoma, 82-62, to earn the 2005 Preseason WNIT Championship before 9,722 at Gampel Pavilion. The win was the Huskies fourth straight to start the season. The Sooners slip to 3-1. Thomas, who scored 60 points in the four tournament games, made her first eight shots from the field, before missing a three-pointer with 1:49 to play, with the contest well in hand. Thomas made four of five attempts from long range. Her eight field goals and four three-point successes marked career bests. She was joined on the All-Tournament Team by Houston, who scored 55 points in the tournament. Other All-Tournament players included Ashley and Courtney Paris of Oklahoma, Brooke Queenan of Boston College and Katie Montgomery of New Mexico. The Huskies earned their third Preseason WNIT title in three tries. Thomas and Houston were joined in double figure scoring by senior forward Barbara Turner (Cleveland, Ohio) who scored 10 points. For Houston, it was the 23rd double figure scoring effort of her UConn career, for Turner, her 63rd. Ann Strother (Castle Rock, Colo.) had a productive afternoon, scoring seven points and tallying game-high totals of seven rebounds and seven assists. Senior forward Wilnett Crockett (Harbor City, Calif.) had six points and seven rebounds off of the Husky bench. Connecticut used sharp shooting from the field (57% shooting) and a suffocating defense (allowed just 38% shooting, while forcing 17 turnovers) to earn the victory. Connecticut made 33 of 58 field goal attempts, and connected on six off 11 from three-point range. Oklahoma enjoyed an early 9-8 lead before the Huskies exploded for a 17-4 run, paced by Houston s seven points, to take a lead with 7:40 before intermission. The Sooners never got closer than nine points the rest of the way. The one area were the Huskies struggled was taking care of the ball, as they committed a season-high 21 turnovers, eight by Houston. The Huskies did improve their record at Gampel Pavilion since February 3, 2000 to a gaudy Courtney Paris led Oklahoma with 19 points on eight of 14 shooting. LAST TIME VS.
