Strong wreaked havoc in the first half, scoring 17 of her 21 points during that stretch. She shot 7-for-9 from the floor in the opening period, including 2-for-3 from the 3-point area. The freshman forward recorded her sixth 20-point game of the season against Villanova.

Paige Bueckers also contributed for the Huskies, scoring 15 points before departing with a knee injury with 1:17 remaining in the third quarter. She limped off the court after colliding with the Wildcats' Jasmine Bascoe. Bueckers came one assist shy of recording her first double-double of the season.

KK Arnold also provided some much-needed scoring off the bench with 15 points. She was efficient on the offensive end, making six of her seven field-goal attempts. Arnold drained her lone 3-point shot and knocked down both of her free-throw attempts.
