PHILADELPHIA -- Kia Nurse scored 24 points and freshman Megan Walker added a career-best 22 to help No. 1 UConn rout Temple 113-57 on Sunday.
The Huskies (18-0, 7-0 American) were missing Katie Lou Samuelson, who was out with an ankle injury she sustained against Tulsa on Thursday.
It's been a rough week for the junior forward. She was still sporting a blackened left eye after taking an elbow to the face against Texas on Monday.
UConn also was having a rough week, not playing up to its top ranking. The Huskies beat Texas by four points and then had a lackluster 18-point win over Tulsa that left coach Geno Auriemma extremely annoyed with his team, calling that game one of the worst performances he's seen in his 32 years coaching.
