HARTFORD, Conn. — Jeff Adrien had 18 points and 10 rebounds and No. 2 Connecticut returned from an 11-day break for exams to rout Stony Brook. It was the 36th career double-double for the senior forward, who was one of five Huskies in double figures. Hasheem Thabeet had 18 points and nine rebounds, while Jerome Dyson added 16 points and Craig Austrie and A.J. Price had 13 each for UConn (9-0). Danny Carter led Stony Brook (5-5) with 20 points, 14 in the first half. Stony Brook, which had been giving up just 55 points per game, used a weave on offense to try and slow the pace, but shot 32 percent from the field. UConn, which played its first game since a 68-64 victory at Buffalo on Dec. 4, used a 20-2 second-half run to stretch a 12-point lead to 30.
