Storrs — Shabazz Napier and Alex Oriakhi each put up double-doubles and UConn, playing its fourth straight game without ailing coach Jim Calhoun, beat DePaul 80-54 on Wednesday night.

Napier had 14 points and 11 assists and Oriakhi scored 14 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for the Huskies (16-9, 6-7 Big East), who snapped a two game losing streak. Jeremy Lamb led the team with 18 points and Andre Drummond had 15 points and nine rebounds.

Jeremiah Kelly had 16 points and Cleveland Melvin scored 11 to lead DePaul (11-14, 2-11), which has lost five in a row.

UConn improves to 2-2 since Calhoun took an indefinite medical leave of absence suffering from spinal stenosis.

The Huskies had lost six of their last seven games and won for just the fourth time in 2012, breaking the 70-point barrier for the first time since New Year’s Eve.
