Allen Aragbaye led AIC with 21 points.
Although barely outrebounding AIC 39-35, UConn took charge from the outset of the second half with two baskets from Walker and a 3-pointer from Napier. With 9:25 remaining in the game, the Huskies lead swelled to 70-45.
UConn’s final exhibition game is Sunday in Hartford against Division II Bridgeport.
