Maya Moore and the UConn Huskies dominated Florida State last night and pushed their winning streak all the way to 89 games, passing John Wooden's UCLA Bruins for the longest winning streak in the history of college basketball.

After the game, head coach Geno Auriemma received a pretty important phone call from President Barack Obama while he was talking to the media.

"Hello? Yes. No, you're not interrupting anything," Auriemma said in front of the media. "You're taking—you know, if I was calling you and you had all those reporters in front of you, you'd be dying to take my phone call, right?"

Auriemma and Obama continued to talk and he went on to thank the president for his knowledge of the game.

"Well, Mr. President, I really appreciate that. It's an incredible thing that these kids have done and we owe you a little bit of gratitude," Auriemma said. "That lesson you gave on the White House basketball court really paid off. So, I appreciate you doing that for them."

It was a funny moment and something that makes sports a little more fun.
