The No. 4 UConn Huskies (2-1) travel to Columbus, Ohio, to face the No. 19 Ohio State Buckeyes (3-0) in their third straight top-25 matchup.

UConn is fresh off a dominant Nov. 8 win over Iowa behind 39 points from forward Sarah Strong. The reigning National Player of the Year shot 57% from the field, draining five 3-pointers as well. She added 10 rebounds, three steals and two blocks. UConn led by as many as 27 points during its convincing victory.

The Huskies' win came after aNov. 5 loss to Michigan, 77-66, where it had multiple quarters scoring 13 points or less. UConn also shot just 26% from deep and committed 19 turnovers.

"After the (Michigan) game, we just had to do a lot of self-reflecting," said Strong, who finished with 13 points and eight

rebounds against the Wolverines. Strong was also on the bench for most of the second quarter with foul trouble.

The Buckeyes are 3-0 this season with victories over Illinois-Chicago, Central Michigan and Mercyhurst. They are led by junior guard Jaloni Cambridge, who is averaging 20.7 points per game. Last season, Cambridge was ranked sixth nationally in points per game (23.2).

Against Mercyhurst on Nov. 8, Cambridge scored 17 points on a blistering 73% shooting from the field in a 91-57 win. Buckeyes center Elsa Lemmila led Ohio State with a double-double, finishing with 19 points and 12 rebounds
