Gabby Williams posted 18 points and 14 boards off the bench for the Huskies (21-1, 11-0 AAC), who have won 20 straight games.

Jasmine Whitfield netted 14 points to lead the Bearcats (6-16, 3-8).

UConn overwhelmed Cincinnati over the first 20 minutes, building a 47-15 advantage at the break, then cruised to the easy win in the second half.

The Huskies shot 51.4 percent (37-of-72) from the floor and held the Bearcats to just 24.6 percent (14-of-57) from the field. UConn outrebounded Cincy 50-28 as well.
