The game remained competitive early, with DePaul closing the gap to 23-20 in the second quarter. However, UConn responded with a 17-4 run to seize control by halftime. The Huskies’ outside shooting played a key role, as they shot 54.5% (12-for-22) from beyond the arc, with Chen going 3-for-3 and Fudd 4-for-7.
Kaitlyn Chen scored 17 points to match her season high, Azzi Fudd also had 17 and No. 6 UConn rolled past DePaul 84-58 on Wednesday night for its tenth straight win and 31st in a row in Big East regular-season play.

UConn secured its 20th win of the season with a 84-58 victory at DePaul on Wednesday evening. For perhaps the first time this season, it was not Paige Bueckers and Sarah Strong leading the way for UConn.
In the video posted on Tuesday, Fudd mentioned that Bueckers is obsessed with herself. This led the fifth-year senior to recall an incident from the orevious day when Azzi was admiring herself in the mirror. "Lie, put that on my life. Like, why are you lying? Let's just be truthful," Bueckers then said.
Sarah Strong had her fifth double-double of the season with 26 points and 12 rebounds, Paige Bueckers scored 19 of her 22 points in the second half, and No. 6 UConn beat Creighton 72-61 in a battle for the Big East lead.
