SAN ANTONIO — Imagine walking across the ledge of a 77-story building. Looking down would be dizzying for almost anybody, so the focus is always on being safe and secure with the next step.

And that’s how the Connecticut Huskies have won 77 straight basketball games.

Their amazing streak — every victory by double-digits — has brought UConn to the brink of a second straight national championship and the first back-to-back unbeaten seasons in women’s college basketball history.

Yet as they got ready to play Stanford in the title game tonight (ESPN, 8:30), the Huskies weren’t about to talk about those glorious rewards finally being within reach.

After all, they can’t afford a misstep now.

“You don’t have enough room in your head to think about that,” star forward Maya Moore said yesterday. “It’s something our coaches emphasize and we as a team have believed in. We have accepted that way of thinking and it’s worked great.”
