No. 17 UConn ended Notre Dame's 29-game home court winning streak with an impressive 67-53 win.

Everyone contributed to the complete team win.

Sophomore Shabazz Napier had 16 points while freshman Andre Drummond had 10 points and 13 rebounds. Junior Alex Oriakhi added 12 points and seven rebounds and sophomore Roscoe Smith chipped in 10 points and six rebounds off the bench.

The Huskies (14-3, 4-2) played without freshman Ryan Boatright who is being held out for the second time this season as UConn works with the NCAA on a joint review of his eligibility.

Some post-game quotes courtesy of the Notre Dame basketball website:

-- Some of UConn coach Jim Calhoun's opening statement:

"Obviously it was a little bit of unusual circumstances, being told last night (about Boatright). We didn't have a lot of time to practice, it was seven o-clock at night, but the bottom line is that we know Ryan was with us and his spirit was felt by the team in the locker room.

"But more important, because he's an integral part of what we do, and as much as we miss him, I'm proud of what we did. We broke a 29-game home win streak. I'm proud of what we did against Notre Dame, it's a great university.

"… I'm proud because we beat Mike Brey who has probably evolved into what I think is as good of a coach as there is. And I thought that this year, with the loss of (Tim) Abromaitis, they just weren't going to recover. And I've watched them recover, and really make themselves into a good team.

"I've watched Cooley struggle at times, and tonight he struggled because he played against a guy who's going to make a ton of money someday, that being Andre Drummond. And I'm proud for them, for Roscoe Smith and Niels Giffey. The two guys who haven't been used quite as much making big plays when they get the chance.

"When you're a coach, I think that's the biggest question you have in your team is how will they respond? And I thought we responded great.

"I thought in the first half, they made a lot of tough 3's, and in the second half they didn't. They couldn't get to the rim. They were not going to get 3's. I thought we did a very good job of getting into the lane, between Alex (Oriakhi) and Andre (Drummond), preventing them from getting to where they wanted to be. I think it was our quickness in the end. It was very important to us.

"Niels (Giffey) had a really good defensive effort, and he did a very nice job in the second half.

"Bottom line, that's a win that later on down the line, we can point to. We are fortunate enough to have won two road games now, and once again I'll go home with a great sense of pride about what my team did."

-- Sophomore Roscoe Smith on the win:

"It felt really good. We definitely needed that game. Another Big East win on the road. It was kind of tough, but we pulled through in the second half."

Smith on the UConn bench: "I thought it was a big game for everybody on the bench. The bench drove us with the spirit and energy and they kept us pushing. We dedicated the game to Ryan Boatwright and he kept on cheering for us."

-- Notre Dame coach Mike Brey:

"We lost to a heck of a basketball team today. I give a lot of credit to Connecticut. Defensively, it was hard for us to do anything. It was hard for us offensively to do anything against their defense."

More Brey: "I thought with Boatwright down, Napier and Lamb felt really aggressive to make plays, and made big plays. Sometimes when the bench shortens a little bit, guys play a little longer, and they get into a rhythm.

"They're really talented. We're going to have to play them again. Certainly, they've got great size and length ... I think guarding them physically, especially our front line guys, was so exhausting, I don't know if we had much left offensively on the other end."
