Maya Moore and Connecticut are just two steps away from their ultimate goal after another rout in the NCAA tournament.

Moore scored 22 points to lead the Huskies past Florida State 90-50 on Tuesday night at Dayton, Ohio, sending the defending champions back to the Final Four and stretching their unprecedented win streak to 76 games.

Tina Charles controlled the paint with 20 points and 14 rebounds for the Huskies (37-0), who advance to their eighth Final Four since 2000 where they will meet Baylor in the semifinals Sunday night.

The 40-point victory was the largest margin ever in a regional final.

Oklahoma 88, Kentucky 68: At Kansas City, Mo., Nyeshia Stevenson scored 31 points and Oklahoma blew past fourth-seeded Kentucky (28-8) to earn its second straight trip to the Final Four.

The third-seeded Sooners (27-10) will face Stanford on Sunday in San Antonio.
