INDIANAPOLIS — Paige Bueckers finished with 23 points and 10 assists, and Sarah Strong added 16 points and nine rebounds to lead No. 5 UConn to an 86-47 rout at Butler. Ashlynn Shade scored 14 points while Bueckers had three steals as the Huskies won their fifth straight. They've won 16 of 17 since a mid-December loss to then No. 7 Southern California and moved within one win of clinching another outright regular season conference crown. Kilyn McGuff and Lily Zeinstra each scored 13 points to lead Butler, which was playing in front of the first women's game to be sold out at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
