HARTFORD, Conn. – Stanley Robinson scored 32 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, and blocked three shots as he led Connecticut to an easy 105-60 victory over Maine on Saturday.

The first meeting in 15 years between the former Yankee Conference foes turned out to be no contest as Connecticut took control of the game midway through the first half.

The Huskies (8-2) had a 53-28 lead at halftime and coasted to their third straight win and fifth in six games. Maine, suffering its third straight loss, drops to 4-7.

Robinson, a sophomore from Birmingham, Ala., scored his career-high on a variety of alley-oop dunks, mid-range jump shots, high-flying putbacks and three-point shots.

Jeff Adrien added 19 points and 13 rebounds for UConn, his fifth double-double of the season, while Hasheem Thabeet added 16 points and 10 rebounds, and A.J. Price had 17 points and nine assists.

Junior Bernal had 16 points to lead Maine.

Robinson, charged with a technical foul with 11:09 remaining in the first half and Connecticut leading by 18-13, took over the rest of the first half.

The sophomore scored Connecticut’s next three baskets, two of them on alley-oop dunks, as he led the Huskies on one run of 13-3 and another of 22-9 to send UConn into halftime with the commanding lead.

The Huskies began the second half with nine unanswered points against the overmatched Black Bears and continued the onslaught, widening the gap to 66-33, 80-43, and the 45-point final margin.

It was Connecticut’s first 100-point game since Dec. 3, 2006, a 106-55 win over Texas Southern.
