SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. - Paige Bueckers scored a season-high 32 points to lead No. 9 UConn to an 83-59 win over Seton Hall.

The All-American guard left the game with 6:38 remaining in the third quarter after colliding with teammate KK Arnold at midcourt. She returned with just under three minutes left in the period after icing her neck and promptly hit a baseline jumper on her first shot attempt for a 59-46 lead.

Bueckers missed all of last season with a torn ACL. With their star back, the Huskies (15-3, 7-0 Big East) have now won 11 straight games and 37 in a row against Seton Hall.

This contest was closer than other Big East games this season which UConn had won by an average of 38 points.

Azana Baines scored 17 points to lead Seton Hall (11-7, 3-4).
