The No. 5 Huskies, down to seven healthy players for the second consecutive game, overcame a slow start to defeat Butler 79-39 Saturday at Gampel Pavilion. It was their 10th straight win.

UConn (17-2, 10-0 Big East) fell behind nine points in the first quarter after giving up a 13-0 run, but would outscore its opponent 75-26 the rest of the way and coast to victory.
