In their previous game against Villanova, UConn showcased their offensive prowess with a convincing 83-52 win. Freshman Sarah Strong led the team with 21 points, with contributions from redshirt senior Paige Bueckers and sophomore KK Arnold. UConn holds a perfect 8-0 record against Xavier and will be looking to add another win to their record.
