HARTFORD, Conn. -- UConn eased past Chattanooga to stretch its winning streak to 80 games and that has coach Geno Auriemma concerned.Napheesa Collier scored 23 points to lead the nations No. 2-ranked team to an 80-43 rout of the Mocs on Tuesday night.Katie Lou Samuelson added 19 points for the Huskies and the two sophomores combined to hit 19 of their 30 shots from the field.UConn has won 127 of their last 128 games and 52 straight at home.But Auriemma said he hopes those streaks will be tested when the Huskies face No. 15 DePaul on Thursday and four other top-25 teams in December .Cause we need to get our ass beat and soon and bad, so that some of our guys will come to realize that this is not as easy as they think it is, Auriemma said.UConn (5-0) led by just 12 points at halftime, before holding Chattanooga scoreless for more than 8 minutes during an 18-0 third quarter run. That gave the Huskies a 61-33 lead and put the game out of reach. The Mocs had just 12 points after intermission.Collier said she agrees with her coach that the Huskies didnt play tough enough in the first half, something that could come back to bite them in the coming weeks.Hopefully it doesnt take a loss to wake us up, she said.Gabby Williams scored 11 points and had 10 rebounds, the second straight game she has reached double figures both points and rebounds and the 11th double-double of her career.Four players finished with nine points for Chattanooga (3-6), including Chelsey Shumpert, who sat out the Mocs last two games with an ankle injury.UConn dominated underneath, outscoring Chattanooga 48-16 in the paint, and outrebounding the Mocs 44-32.The Huskies played without freshman point guard Crystal Dangerfield, who missed the game with concussion-like symptoms after bumping her head in UConns win over Dayton a week ago. Auriemma said she still needs to pass several parts of her concussion protocol before being cleared to play against DePaul.THE BIG PICTUREUConn: Without Dangerfield, the Huskies had to rely more on senior guard Sanaya Chong and junior Kia Nurse to run the offense. Nurse had 12 points and dished out four of UConns 21 assists. Chong finished with three points and five assists.UConns winning streak is just the third 80-game streak in Division I basketball history, behind only its own program record of 90 straight from 2008-10 and the UCLA mens record of 88 consecutive victories from 1971-74.Chattanooga: Coach Jim Foster has put his team through a tough non-conference schedule that included losses to teams such as Florida, Indiana and Louisville. The Mocs play top-ranked Notre Dame next month and must guard against losing confidence while dropping games to the bigger names in womens college basketball.I think in the long run it has to help because you have to learn to play hard every night, Foster said. The program has had success within of the framework of our conference and getting to the NCAA Tournament, but it hasnt had success winning in the NCAA Tournament. Playing more teams that are going to be playing in March, you get an idea of what you have to be like.POLL IMPLICATIONS:UConns ranking likely wont be affected by this game. Barring any upsets, they should stay where they are until the Dec. 7 showdown with top-ranked Notre Dame in South Bend.HE SAID IT:Auriemma said hes coached several teams that had the ability to dominate all competition and others that won because they refused to back down from anyone under any circumstances.We gave up like eight layups in the first five minutes of the game, so were not that, he said. And yet we dont have that kind of talent that blows you away, like weve had in the past. So, that means that every single minute of every day, every practice, every game, theyve got to be tough, hard-nosed and I mean really tough. And thats hard to do.UP NEXT:UConn: The Huskies begin their December gauntlet of games against ranked teams when they face No. 15 DePaul on Thursday. The Huskies then travel to face No. 14 Texas on Dec. 4 before their Dec. 7 showdown with No. 1 Notre Dame. UConn also faces No. 9 Ohio State and No. 5 Maryland before January.Chattanooga: The Mocs visit Tennessee-Martin on Saturday, before returning home to face Stetson.

SOELDEN, Austria -- Lara Gut got the defense of her overall World Cup title off to a shining start Saturday.The first womens champion from Switzerland in more than two decades, Gut dominated the season-opening giant slalom on a sun-soaked Rettenbach glacier.On an icy slope under crisp, blue skies, Gut held on to her first-run lead to clinch a comfortable win as she led Mikaela Shiffrin by 1.44 seconds for her 19th career victory. The American also finished second in Soelden last year after winning the race in 2014.Its a good start, Gut said. Soelden is always a special race. Its very steep. Its very difficult. You have to charge and not think too much. I had to fight against my head, as I had been thinking too much in the past 24 hours. I dont know why. Usually I just ski and enjoy what I am doing. I am the one who laughs.Gut said she thanked Austrias Marcel Hirscher, the mens overall champion, for giving her some useful advice.Marcel told me yesterday, You just have to ski. I knew I could be fast, but you still have to deliver, she said. Today wasnt my easiest day. It was a fight against myself. What I am going to take with me from today is that I was stronger than my head, I was stronger than that what I was thinking.Gut held a 1.42-second lead over Shiffrin after the first leg and was put under pressure by the Americans near-flawless second run. The Swiss champion lost two-tenths early in her run, but her victory never came under threat.The second run was a battle, Gut said.Shiffrin, who lost here to Italys Federica Brignone in 2015, said she could live with a runner-up finish for a second straight year.Its a big relief. I can be happy with it, but I also know I can be better, Shiffrin said. I really wanted to start off the season strong. Its always better to win, but Lara was very strong, just like Federica llast year.dddddddddddd Today she raised the level. I am not super far off, but I am still looking for that second GS win.Shiffrin praised her Swiss rival for holding herself together.She is like the queen of hammering the course and risking and really, really racing, Shiffrin said. I am getting close to it, but I have a lot of respect for her to be able to come through the first race of the season.Marta Bassino of Italy, the only other skier to finish within two seconds of Gut, earned her first top-three result. It was the 100th podium in giant slalom by an Italian woman. Only Austria, Switzerland and France have more top-three results.I just tried to ski like in training, Bassino said through an interpreter. This is an amazing result. It means a lot to me.Former world champion Tessa Worley of France placed sixth, 2.88 off the lead, while Eva-Maria Brem of Austria, who took the giant slalom title last season, was 5.14 seconds behind in 26th after two disappointing runs.Petra Vlhova of Slovakia started 55th but posted the fastest second-run time to finish eighth.Several top contenders were sitting out the race. American standout Lindsey Vonn said she will focus more on the downhill and super-G this season. Two-time former overall champion Anna Veith of Austria and 2010 Olympic GS champion Viktoria Rebensburg of Germany were recovering from injuries.Organizers said the race was attended by 14,000 spectators, including the 77-year-old Heinrich Messner. The Austrian won the first World Cup race in 1967 -- a slalom in Berchtesgaden, Germany. He was invited to Soelden as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the World Cup.A mens giant slalom on the same course is scheduled for Sunday. ' ' '
