UConn secured a significant 78-54 victory over Villanova, bouncing back from their first loss in 2024 with a dominant performance. Tristen Newton was a standout player in the game, achieving his 4th career triple-double with 10 points, 16 rebounds, and 10 assists. This marks the fourth triple-double of his career and the second of the season, making him just the fifth major-conference player since 1996-97 to achieve a triple-double that included 15-plus rebounds. Notably, Newton is the first UConn player to record multiple triple-doubles in a single season, and he has done so in back-to-back seasons, leading among active Division 1 players in triple-doubles. Spencer also contributed significantly to the win with 25 points.
