STORRS, Connecticut (AP) The giant step Quinnipiac took into Division I landed the small school upstate and onto the homecourt of the secondranked team in the nation.
The Huskies effectively shut down Quinnipiac's inside attack, outrebounding the Braves 5729. Reserve forward Edmund Saunders had a gamehigh 11 rebounds and Jake Voskuhl hauled down 10 boards.
Nate Pondexter led the Braves with 21 points. Andrew McKenzie had 15, including three 3pointers.
"Me and Khalid had the hot hands, so the guys just started looking for us," Hamilton said. "I wanted to make another pass, but sometimes I was so wide open I had to shoot the ball."
"I would like to see us play with a lot more energy. Would like to see a spurt of 40 minutes," said Calhoun.
Quinnipiac had few answers for UConn's speed and stifling press and even fewer answers for ElAmin. When he wasn't finding his teammates with nifty passes, the fiery guard slipped through the lane for driving layups. He was 9of12 from the floor, including three 3pointers, and 7of8 from the foul line.
"I don't think you guys realized how big a step this is for us," Braves coach Joe DeSantis said. "There are so many things that have to happen on and off the court. I really hope we get to play this team every year and we get to close the gap every year."
锘? UConn conquers Quinnipiac 102
Also finishing in double figures for the Huskies were Saunders and Kevin Freeman, each with 12.
The win kept UConn perfect in home openers (120) under Calhoun, who got his 521st victory. Quinnipiac finished 423 in Division II last season.
ElAmin, a preseason second team AllAmerican, was two points shy of his career best, a 30point performance last season against Notre Dame.
"I was disappointed that we didn't rebound at all defensively," said DeSantis, "but they come at you with big, guy after big guy after big guy."
The closest Quinnipiac could get was in the first two minutes when Bill Ramano hit a jumper to make it 42. The Huskies built to a 4625 lead at the half on several short scoring bursts.
Connecticut had a rude welcome for its newest instate rival, routing the Braves 10260 on Sunday.
The runs caused some concern from UConn coach Jim Calhoun, who called his team's season opener a "choppy kind of performance."
The Braves also couldn't contend with preseason AllAmerican Richard Hamilton, who scored 25 points. Midway through the second half, with UConn leading 8342, Hamilton and ElAmin had combined to outscore the Braves.
The Huskies never trailed, opening the scoring on a free throw from Khalid ElAmin, who finished with a gamehigh 28 points.
The victory extended the Huskies' dominance over instate teams to 42 straight wins. The last UConn loss to an instate rival was 4948 to Hartford in 1986.
