MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) -- Top-ranked Connecticut showed no evidence of looking past West Virginia to Saturday's clash with No. 5 Notre Dame.

Asjha Jones scored 19 points and Svetlana Abrosimova had 11 of her 17 points in the first four minutes as the Huskies handed West Virginia its worst-ever loss, 100-28 Wednesday night.

"We don't feel sorry," Abrosimova said. "We want to push, make the score as high as possible, because we don't want to be embarrassed."

It was the sixth time the Huskies (25-1 overall, 14-0 Big East) reached 100 points this season.

West Virginia (6-19, 1-13 Big East), which lost by 40 at Connecticut last month, was never in this one, either, in losing for the 14th time in 15 games.

West Virginia coach Alexis Basil didn't hang her head in shame, instead praising the Huskies as being better than the Rebecca Lobo-led Connecticut team that won the 1995 national championship.

"They have more depth," Basil said. "If everybody stays healthy, I don't think they'll lose. I think they'll win the national championship."

The start of the game was set back an hour because of a ruptured natural gas line in the area, but in the end it made no difference. The margin exceeded West Virginia's 69-point loss to Penn State in 1983.

The Huskies raced to a 19-4 lead, allowed an easy basket, then followed with a 17-0 run.

A 24-point lead midway through the first half didn't stop Connecticut from running the fastbreak and using a full-court press which held West Virginia scoreless over a 7:24 stretch.

"I thought we played great on defense, and I thought our offense was a direct result of our ability to force a lot of tough shots," said Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma, who is 10-0 against West Virginia. "I know how much they've been struggling, and once we got that big lead, it was too difficult to overcome."

Connecticut wasn't flawless. The Huskies committed 14 turnovers in the first half and 18 overall. Abrosimova sat out most of the second half with three fouls, although she wasn't needed.

"At some point, there is no reason to push the ball, no reason to run a full-court press," Auriemma said. "There is no reason to make it any worse than it is."

Connecticut shot 74 percent in the first half and 68 percent for the game and outrebounded West Virginia 50-27.

The Mountaineers were just 7-of-55 (13 percent) from the floor, actually shooting better from 3-point range (5-of-26, 19 percent) than from inside the arc (7 percent). Mandy Ronay scored nine to lead the Mountaineers.

"We're not as dedicated as Connecticut is," Basil said. "We're not at the point where we need to be to compete at that level. We play against teams in the top five, they have an entirely different mentality."

Connecticut has regular season games left with Notre Dame and at Providence before entering the Big East tournament on March 4 on its home court.

"We're definitely wanting to start playing our best because of the Big East and NCAA tournaments coming up," Shea Ralph said. "We demand more from each other in practice and in games. Our top players are stepping up more and more."
