No. 1 UConn Blasts Seton Hall 84-48 for 31st Straight Win

A swarming defense steadied an injury-thinned roster, with KK Arnold back in a mask and turnovers still a lingering issue.

Overview

  • The Huskies improved to 15-0 and 6-0 in the Big East with the victory at PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford.
  • Sarah Strong delivered 18 points with eight rebounds, four assists and four steals, Azzi Fudd scored 16 with four 3-pointers, and Allie Ziebell added 12 as Jana El Alfy contributed 10 off the bench.
  • UConn forced 32 turnovers and notched 20 steals, turning takeaways into 30-plus points to break the game open after a slow shooting start.
  • Point guard KK Arnold returned from a nasal fracture wearing a protective mask and recorded five assists and five steals, while Caroline Ducharme saw limited minutes in her first game back from a shoulder issue.
  • Ball security lagged again with 17 UConn turnovers just days after 21 against Providence, and Seton Hall was without third-leading scorer Jada Eads.
