STORRS, Conn. - Renee Montgomery scored 26 points and top-ranked Connecticut stayed unbeaten by rallying to beat No. 3 North Carolina 82-71 on Monday night.

Maya Moore added 19 points and Tina Charles had 15 points and matched her career-high with 19 rebounds for Connecticut (18-0).

The game featured two of the highest scoring offenses in the country with both teams averaging more than 85 points and they didn't disappoint. Only four teams had scored more than 50 points this season against UConn. North Carolina (17-2) passed that mark early in the second half.

Both teams saw the game as a litmus test to see where they stood midway through the regular season. The Tar Heels' only loss had been to then-No. 1 Tennessee.

TEXAS 63, OKLAHOMA STATE 61: D.J. Augustin scored 26 points and Damion James added 12 points and 12 rebounds to lead No. 12 Texas to victory over Oklahoma State.
