UConn Stays Perfect at 21-0 as Questions Mount Over Schedule Strength and TV Metrics

Nielsen’s list omitted Peacock, BTN, certain NBC telecasts, explaining UConn’s absence.

Overview

  • UConn remained unbeaten with a 92-52 win over Seton Hall, led by 16 points each from Sarah Strong and Blanca Quinonez, with Azzi Fudd adding 14.
  • The Huskies are the nation’s lone undefeated team after Vanderbilt’s loss to South Carolina, extending UConn’s lead at the top of the field.
  • Season-long dominance includes scoring roughly 89.8 points per game and allowing about 51, reflecting top-tier production on both ends.
  • A fan poll reported by EssentiallySports found 56.5% of respondents attribute UConn’s spotless record in part to a less competitive Big East, even as analytics cite a challenging overall schedule.
  • Nielsen viewership data through Jan. 18 did not list UConn, with reports noting totals excluded games on Peacock, BTN and some NBC broadcasts that accounted for several Huskies telecasts.
