    The No. 4 UConn women's basketball team takes on Cincinnati in an American Athletic Conference game Thursday at Gampel Pavilion. The game will be televised on SNY, tip-off at 7 p.m.

    The Huskies (18-1, 8-0) are 21-0 all-time vs. Cincinnati (13-6, 4-2).

    UConn is coming off a 79-64 loss in an exhibition against the USA Women's National Team. Junior Megan Walker led the Huskies with 22 points and seven rebounds.

    Junior forward Limar'i Thomas leads Cincinnati in scoring (20.7 points per game) and rebounding (8.7) and senior guard Antoinette Millder is scoring 16.0 per game.

    Freshman Anna Makurat repeated as the AAC Freshman of the Week after averaging 14.5 points, six rebounds, three assists and 2.5 steals per game last week. Makurat made eight straight three pointers against ECU for a career-high 24 points.
