UConn was firing on all cylinders once again as the Huskies dominated DePaul at Wintrust Arena, 101-65, for their 13th straight victory.

Six different Huskies scored in double figures, led by an efficient 21 from Alex Karaban. Jaylin Stewart made the most of his 15 minutes, dropping a season-high 11 points. It was one of the Huskies’ best shooting nights of the season and they dominated the boards, led by eight from Tristen Newton.

UConn (23-2, 13-1 Big East) now turns its attention to Saturday’s marquee matchup against No. 4 Marquette. The game will be televised on FOX at 3 p.m. from the XL Center in Hartford.

The Golden Eagles just beat Butler on Tuesday night, 78-72, and have won eight in a row. They’re ranked 11th in KenPom (22nd Offense, 13th Defense), which projects a 76-69 victory for the Huskies (3rd Overall, 3rd Offense, 18th Defense).
