TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- UConns winning streak remains alive, just barely.Napheesa Collier scored 28 points and had a big block down in the final few seconds to lead the third-ranked Huskies to a 78-76 win over No. 12 Florida State on Monday night. UConn extended its winning streak to 76 games, the third longest streak in college basketball history.Florida State had a chance to beat the third-ranked Huskies at the end, but Imani Wrights 3-pointer was short allowing the four-time defending national champions to hold on in their opener.There are a lot of happy coaches that watched tonights game saying you got out of there with that one but your time is coming, coach Geno Auriemma said.This is the Huskies first single-digit win in the regular season since a six-point victory over St. Johns in 2013. It is also the first time since the 2011 Sweet 16 against Georgetown (68-63) that they have won by five points or less.The Seminoles trailed 65-59, but had a chance to tie it with 13.7 seconds left when Brittany Brown was fouled on a 3-point attempt by Kia Nurse. She made the first two to get within 77-76, but missed the third. The Huskies could not secure the ball and FSU (1-1) retained possession when it went out of bounds.Shakayla Thomas then drove the lane, but her shot was blocked Collier. Crystal Dangerfield made the first free throw, but missed the second. Imani Wright missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer.I think this kind of woke us up and showed us that we are a different team than last year. We cant just win on talent. We have to play good, fundamental basketball, said Collier, who also had eight rebounds.Saniya Chong scored 16 points and Katie Lou Samuelson added 14 for the Huskies, whose winning streak sits only behind the team record of 90 straight set from 2008-10 and the UCLA mens record of 88 consecutive victories.Wright led Florida State with 25 points while Brown added 16 points and 10 rebounds.I wish we were sitting here obviously on the other side of this having won it, Florida State coach Sue Semrau said. We gave ourselves a chance. We got the ball into two great scorers at the end. Theres no moral victory here. The victory is our growth as our basketball team.BIG PICTUREUConn: Auriemma said before the game that this was a new world they were entering after the graduations of Breanna Stewart, Morgan Tuck and Moriah Jefferson. He also said he wasnt going to judge this team based on what happened in November, but considering they were able to hold on to win at the road, that has to give his team a little bit of confidence.Florida State: The Seminoles hung tough without starting point guard Leticia Romero, who missed her second straight game with a hamstring injury.TURNING POINTThe Huskies trailed by four at halftime and then were down 37-30 with 9:08 remaining in the third quarter, which is the largest deficit they have faced during the winning streak. They then went on a 14-2 run to take a five-point lead. The Seminoles would tie it three more times in the second half but could never take the lead.Collier and Chong each scored four points during the run while Samuelson had a 3-pointer at the end.It was a miracle we were down four at halftime. They (Florida State) got everything they wanted in the first half. If we were down 14 that might have been the end, Auriemma said.STAT OF THE NIGHTFlorida State had 16 offensive rebounds but could rarely convert as it was 26 of 72 from the field. That translated to UConn having a 30-24 edge in points in the paint and 12-7 advantage in second-chance points.POLL IMPLICATIONSUConns tough week will continue with second-ranked Baylor up next on Thursday and another road game Sunday against LSU. Florida State might drop a spot or two from 12th, but proved it can stand with the best teams in the country.UP NEXTUConn: The Huskies will have their home opener on Thursday against No. 2 Baylor. UConn is 53-10 against teams in the top 10 since the start of 2008-09 season.Florida State: The Seminoles continue a string of four straight home games to start the season on Thursday against Jacksonville.---More AP college basketball at http://collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Joe Reedy on Twitter at www.twitter.com/joereedyColin Rea Jersey Cubs .

How to send your questions to Martin:1: Email your posers to skysportsclub@bskyb.com2. Tweet @SkyFootball using the hashtag #TylersTeasersMartins starting statMy next commentary takes me to Stamford Bridge on Sunday for Chelsea v Manchester United. The visitors havent beaten Chelsea home or away in all competitions since October 2012 when both Fernando Torres and Branislav Ivanovic were sent off - and United won 3-2 with a late Javier Hernandez goal. There have been nine games between the two in all competitions since then.The following Wednesday Chelsea won 5-4 in the League Cup and I commentated on both games. I hope for something similarly eventful for the Sky Sports cameras this weekend.Terrific TuesdaysHi Martin. Apparently, Wayne Rooney has now scored 12 goals on a Tuesday. Is that a record? (Tim, Manchester) Wayne Rooney scored his 12th Premier League goal on a Tuesday against Stoke MARTIN SAYS: You are correct. Rooneys midweek goal against Stoke was his 12th Premier League goal on a Tuesday - but he still has some work to do to break the all-time Premier League record. He currently sits second on the list, three ahead of Thierry Henry, with only Alan Shearer ahead of him.The former Blackburn and Newcastle striker notched 15 goals on Tuesdays meaning Rooney needs another four goals to overtake him. As I write, Manchester United have no further Premier League fixtures scheduled for a Tuesday night this season.Rooney has the best tally of any players still playing. Christian Benteke is next on that list with eight Tuesday goals, while Jermain Defoe has scored seven and Cameron Jerome six.Foul playersDear Martin. I believe Aston Villa have conceded the most fouls of any team this season and Jordan Ayew the most of any player. Am I right? (Chris, Portsmouth) Jonathan Moss red cards Ayew during the first-half at Upton Park MARTIN SAYS: Youre wrong and you may be surprised to learn Manchester United have committed the most fouls in the Premier League this season, having conceded 302. That is just two more than Tottenham in second place while Crystal Palace are third having committed 296 fouls. Aston Villa are actually fourth with 295 fouls.At the other end of the scale are Everton - Roberto Martinezs side have committed just 197 fouls, 19 fewer than Arsenal who have the next fewest with 216. Manchester United have committed more fouls than any other side this season Individually, Jordan Ayew - who was sent off against West Ham on Tuesday - is joint 10th with 35 fouls this season.dddddddddddd Top of the list is his Aston Villa team-mate Idrissa Gueye with 45 fouls, one more than Tottenhams Erik Lamela. Lucas Leiva of Liverpool completes the top three with 42 fouls conceded.Meanwhile, Wilfried Zaha of Crystal Palace has drawn the most fouls of any player with 57. Sadio Mane (54) and Andre Ayew (50) are the only other players to have been fouled 50 times or more.Facing shotsHi Martin, I heard a stat that said Arsenal faced as many shots on target in January as Sunderland. Is this true and did any sides face more? (Adam, Derby) Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech was called into action more than most in January MARTIN SAYS: That is correct. In January, both Arsenal and Sunderland faced 24 shots on target - a league high. However, while Sunderland conceded eight in that time, Arsenal conceded just four.Norwich allowed the next most shots on target with 23, conceding 11 goals in the process. The only other sides to face more than 20 shots on target in the month were Crystal Palace (22), Everton and Liverpool (both 21).However, Everton had a far better defensive record than the other two, conceding just six compared to Liverpools 10 and Palaces 11 - a figure that means Alan Padrews side conceded every other shot on target they faced.At the other end Tottenham have peppered the opposition goal more than any other side with 31 shots on target, seven more than the next best tally of 24 by Newcastle. There was a tie for the top scorers over the month though, both Chelsea and Sunderland scoring nine from 19 and 16 shots on target, respectively.Head boyMartin. Has any player scored more headers in the Premier League than John Terry? Marc, London John Terry is the highest scoring defender in Premier League history MARTIN SAYS: John Terry has scored 40 Premier League goals - and is the highest scoring Premier League defender - with 27 of those coming with his head.That puts him 10th on the list of players with the most headed goals in Premier League history - and level with Andy Cole, who is the third highest scorer overall in the competitions history! He also has more Premier League headed goals than the likes of Niall Quinn and Emile Heskey.Peter Crouch is top of the list with 47 Premier League headers, one clear of Alan Shearer (46). Dion Dublin (45) and Les Ferdinand (40) are the only other players with 40 Premier League headed goals.Also See:Premier League videoFixturesTableLive on Sky ' ' '
