The No. 14 Connecticut Huskies host the Creighton Bluejays on Saturday in a matchup of teams near the top of the Big East standings. UConn (13-4) is 5-1 in Big East play, a game behind Marquette and a half game back from St.

Kentucky ranks 13th nationally in first-half scoring, while Alabama has posted the second-most points of any team in the opening 20 minutes. This game should be played at a frenetic pace, and clearing the 40-point mark prior to halftime won’t be a tough ask of either offense.
