STORRS, Conn. – The fifth-ranked Huskies (19-2, 8-0 American) host ECU (11-10, 2-6) Wednesday in the XL Center. The game will be broadcast on SNY/ESPN3 and the UConn Sports Network from Learfield IMG College.
The Huskies are coming off a 65-55 win over Cincinnati last Saturday. Senior Napheesa Collier led UConn with 20 points and 11 rebounds while junior Megan Walker had her third straight game with double-digit rebounds with 10.
Collier reached both 2,000 career points and 1,000 career rebounds last week, becoming just the fifth Husky all-time to do so.
The Huskies will host their annual Play4Kay Pink Game Saturday when the team takes on Temple in Gampel Pavilion. Fans can visit UConn's auction at UConnHuskies.com/PinkAuction, with all proceeds going to the Kay Yow Fund.
UConn is 9-0 all-time vs. ECU.
