STORRS, Conn. – The 12th-ranked UConn women's basketball team (10-3, 2-0 BIG EAST) travels to Omaha to face No. 21 Creighton (10-2, 1-1) Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET. The game will air on SNY and the UConn Sports Network from Learfield (97-9 WUCS).
Creighton is UConn's seventh ranked opponent of the season. This is the Huskies' second straight top-25 matchup after facing No. 18 Marquette last Sunday.
UConn swept the BIG EAST weekly honors as Aaliyah Edwards was named Player of the Week and KK Arnold was tabbed Freshman of the Week for the fourth time this season.
The Huskies picked up a 95-64 win over Marquette on New Year's Eve. Redshirt junior Paige Bueckers led UConn with 25 points on 10-of-16 shooting. She added five assists and three steals. Senior Aaliyah Edwards had her fifth double-double of the season with 19 points and 12 rebounds. The Huskies had 52 points in the paint and 27 second chance points vs. the Golden Eagles.
UConn is 7-0 all-time vs. Creighton. The teams' last game was the closest decision in the series history, a 62-60 win for UConn in Storrs. In Omaha last season (Dec. 28, 2022), Aaliyah Edwards became the first Husky since Maya Moore to have a 20-point, 20- rebound game. Creighton comes to Connecticut on Feb. 19 to face the Huskies in Hartford.
Creighton is coming off a 67-56 win over St. John's last Saturday. This season, Emma Ronsiek leads the Bluejays with 18.6 points per game. Lauren Jensen is averaging 17.0 points per game. Creighton ranks fourth nationally in assist-turnover ratio (1.77), second in free throw percentage (83.6) and third in turnovers per game (10.1).
