Sarah Strong, KK Arnold and Azzi Fudd rarely missed as No. 1 UConn earned its 49th straight victory by thrashing Creighton 100-51 in the Big East tournament semifinals Sunday in Uncasville, Conn.
Strong scored 23 points on 9-of-11 shooting, Arnold (8-for-9) put up 18 points and Fudd (6-for-10) added 16 points to fuel the Huskies (33-0), who are on the verge of a 13th consecutive conference tournament championship between the American and Big East. They'll face either second-seeded Villanova or third-seeded Seton Hall on Monday.
UConn outshot fifth-seeded Creighton 57.1% to 33.3% overall and made 14 of 22 3-point tries (63.6%). Strong went 4 for 4 from outside, and eight Huskies made at least one triple. UConn also outrebounded Creighton 43-25, with Kayleigh Heckel going for nine points and a team-high eight rebounds.
Kennedy Townsend finished with 13 points for the Bluejays (16-15), who fell behind 29-9 at the end of one quarter after surrendering a 17-0 run in less than three minutes of game time.
