The state of Indiana undoubtedly will welcome back natives Ashlynn Shade and Ayanna Patterson whenever the UConn women’s basketball players want to come home.

But they might be asked to leave their friends and teammates back in Storrs, Conn.

The Huskies doubled up Butler 94-47 on Sunday at historic Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. It was the 51st consecutive win against Big East competition for the Huskies (13-0, 4-0), who have never lost to the Bulldogs (7-7, 1-3).

No. 1 UConn moved to 8-0 all-time against Butler.

Shade, who is from suburban Noblesville, had an estimated 170 family members and friends in attendance at the game. She scored six points and added two rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes.

Patterson, from Fort Wayne, tallied five points, four rebounds and an assist in 10 minutes.

“It means everything to have the support,” Shade told TNT Sports about the large crowd on hand. “Just throughout the whole time warming up, seeing everyone come in, everyone screaming my name, family trying to like break my focus during warm up -- it just means everything. … I just love my family so much and for them to be able to support me like this, and have such a large volume of people, it's super special, and I'm just really appreciative of it.”

What the crowd in Indianapolis saw was textbook UConn basketball.

Sarah Strong led the Huskies with 15 points, six rebounds and seven assists, while Azzi Fudd had 13 points. Neither played close to a full game. Strong played 24 minutes, Fudd 22.

Freshman Blanca Quinonez, an emerging star, scored 12 points and pulled down three rebounds in 18 minutes.

UConn won in its typical dominating fashion, usually achieved by combining a large run with tenacious defense that forces errors by the opponent.

In this case, it was a 27-0 run that spanned the last half of the first quarter and the first few minutes of the second quarter that turned a 10-6 Butler lead into a 33-10 deficit.

And UConn held Butler to 15-of-49 shooting (30.6%) while the Huskies connected at a 59.1% clip (39 of 66).

The Huskies committed nine turnovers compared to 29 for the Bulldogs. UConn turned those giveaways into 48 points.

UConn outscored Butler in the paint, 50-12, and the Huskies’ bench had a 44 to 21 advantage.
