PHILADELPHIA -- Napheesa Collier and Katie Lou Samuelson helped UConn put together nearly a flawless first half.

The top-ranked Huskies rolled from there to their 96th consecutive victory with a 97-69 win over Temple on Wednesday night.

Collier had 25 points and Samuelson 24 for the Huskies (21-0, 9-0 AAC). UConn made 20 of its 26 shots in the first half, including missing just 2 of 21 shots from inside the 3-point arc. Samuelson and Collier were a combined 11 for 12 in the opening 20 minutes.

"That was probably the best first half of the season," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said.
