In what's become a running theme this season, UConn gave their fans yet another huge victory on Saturday. They blew past the Hoyas 89-64. With UConn ahead 52-28 at the half, the matchup was all but over already.

UConn can attribute much of their success to Alex Karaban, who scored 25 points. Karaban didn't help UConn's cause all that much against the Bulldogs last Tuesday but the same can't be said for this contest. Another player making a difference was Cam Spencer, who scored ten points along with seven assists and six rebounds.

Meanwhile, DePaul was expected to have a tough go of it last Tuesday, and, well, they did. There's no need to mince words: the Blue Demons lost to the Red Storm, and the Blue Demons lost bad. The score wound up at 85-57. DePaul has struggled against the Red Storm recently, as their contest last Tuesday was their fourth consecutive lost matchup.

The Huskies are on a roll lately: they've won 15 of their last 16 matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 22-2 record this season. As for the Blue Demons, their defeat was their 19th straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 3-20.

Wednesday's contest is shaping up to be a scrappy matchup: UConn have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 38 rebounds per game. It's a different story for DePaul, though, as they've been averaging only 29.8 rebounds per game. Given UConn's sizable advantage in that area, the Blue Demons will need to find a way to close that gap.

Everything came up roses for UConn against the Blue Demons when the teams last played back in January as the team secured a 85-56 win. With UConn ahead 38-19 at the half, the match was all but over already.
