NEW YORK (AP) — Paige Bueckers scored 22 points and Ice Brady added a career-high 17 to help No. 13 UConn rout St. John's 92-49 on Saturday.
Aaliyah Edwards added 16 points for the Huskies (14-3, 6-0 Big East), who had five players in double figures and shot 64.4% from the field.
UConn blew the game open with a 13-0 run to start the second quarter. The Huskies led 24-18 heading into the period before taking over. Bueckers scored five points and Edwards had four during the burst. The Huskies led 44-25 at the half.
Bueckers ended any hope of a Red Storm comeback by scoring five quick points in the third to help the lead balloon to 29 points. The Huskies led 74-39 after three quarters.
UConn has won its six conference games by an average 36.0 points. The Huskies looked poised to blow the game out early, going up 22-6 before the Red Storm closed the opening quarter with a 12-2 spurt to get within six.
Jailah Donald scored 11 points to lead St. John's (10-8, 4-2), which had won six of seven coming into the game.
The game was played at UBS Arena — home of the New York Islanders. It's the second consecutive season that these two teams played at the site, which also hosts a handful of St. John's men's basketball games.
