ST. THOMAS, U.S. Virgin Islands -- UConn coach Geno Auriemma has warned his players about expecting every game to be a blowout.
That's what the second-ranked Huskies ran into Friday night, having to rally in the fourth quarter against pesky St. John's for a 65-55 victory at the Paradise Jam tournament.
Katie Lou Samuelson scored 19 points, Napheesa Collier added 17 points and Crystal Dangerfield 14 for UConn (4-0), which survived a challenge from the Red Storm to extend their regular-season winning streak to 119 games.
"There should be more interesting games for us as the season goes on," Auriemma said.
