PRESENTED BY Teams are back from the holiday break — which means conference play is about to heat up. This includes a top-10 matchup in the Pac-12 when undefeated and No.1 Stanford takes on undefeated No. 6 Arizona. Here's a look at that game and the other ones I'm most looking forward to in Week 6 of women's college basketball: On Tuesday, we get a preview of what March might look like in the Big East when No. 3 UConn takes on No. 19 DePaul. The undefeated Huskies are back in the Big East after leaving in 2013. They stand in the way of DePaul earning its fourth consecutive Big East title. The Huskies are outscoring teams by more than 40 points per game. They are led by freshman guard Paige Bueckers at 18.2 points per game. The last undefeated team — UConn Women’s Basketball (@UConnWBB) DePaul is 5-2 and its only two losses this season have come against ranked opponents — Texas A&M and Louisville — in their first three games. The Blue Demons have turned things around since then and are on a four-game winning streak. One of those wins includes a huge upset in mid-December against at the time No. 9 Kentucky, knocking them out of the top 10. DePaul will look to Sonya Morris and her 18.7 points per game to get the offense going. It’s also worth noting that UConn head coach Geno Auriemma enters this game two wins shy from matching Pat Summitt as the second winningest head coach in women’s basketball history. Tune into SNY at 6:30 pm Eastern to see the Big East showdown. No.13 Kentucky takes on No.11 Arkansas to begin SEC play for both teams. The Wildcats picked up a blowout win against Wofford, 98-37, on Dec. 19 after an 86-82 loss to No. 19 DePaul on Dec. 16. That was a great tune up before the holiday break, but the Wildcats will have a bigger task on their plates facing 9-1 Arkansas — who is hot right now on a six-game winning streak. The Razorbacks have four players averaging in double digits. They led by Chelsea Dungee with18.9 points per game and Destiny Slocum with 16.3.
