The Huskies held a 26-24 lead at halftime and Marquette even took a 33-32 lead with just over 15 minutes remaining. However, the Huskies completely took over from this point, stalling the Golden Eagles offense and exploding for 47 second half points to earn the decisive victory.
The win improved UConn to 31-3 on the season and has it looking like an excellent candidate to repeat as national champions during this year's NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament.

Fans took to social media to hype up the Huskies and claim that it deserves the No. 1 overall seed for March Madness.
UConn entered the game ranked No. 2 in the country. Houston was ranked No. 1, but notably lost to Iowa State in the Big-12 tournament, so the victory for the Huskies could help it grab that coveted top seed.
Wherever it ends up in the bracket, UConn should be a popular pick to repeat, and it now goes into the tournament with some impressive hardware already on its resume.
