The third-ranked UConn Huskies showcased their dominance with an 89-62 victory over Columbia on Monday night, extending their unbeaten streak to 3-0. Solo Ball led the charge with 23 points, while Alex Karaban contributed 20 points and six rebounds. Tarris Reed Jr. added 19 points and eight rebounds, and Jayden Ross chipped in with 10 points off the bench. Despite a slow start, UConn found their rhythm, hitting 10 of their last 12 shots to take a commanding 50-27 lead at halftime. Columbia, led by Miles Franklin and Blair Thompson with 10 points each, struggled to keep pace, especially after missing 10 consecutive shots during a critical first-half stretch. The second half saw frequent substitutions by UConn coach Dan Hurley, as the Huskies maintained their lead without serious challenge. The game was marred by injuries to Columbia’s Avery Brown and Richard Nweke, who did not return after first-half incidents. Columbia will next face UMass Lowell at home, while UConn prepares for a high-stakes matchup against No. 7 BYU in the Hall of Fame Series at TD Garden in Boston.
