HOUSTON, TEXAS - APRIL 03: Alex Karaban #11 and Adama Sanogo #21 of the Connecticut Huskies react during the first half against the San Diego State Aztecs during the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament National Championship game at NRG Stadium on April 03, 2023 in Houston, Texas. UConn now has five men’s basketball championships in the past 25 years.
San Diego State jumped out to a very early lead and was up 10-8 ahead of the first TV timeout. It became brutal for the Aztecs from there as they went over 11 minutes without making a field goal until Darrion Trammell’s shot in the lane with 5:25 to go before half cut UConn’s lead to nine at 26-17. UConn’s advantage in the interior was clear from the start of the game as Sanogo, Donovan Clingan and the rest of the team’s length frustrated the Aztecs near the rim.The Huskies are just the second No. 4 seed to win the NCAA tournament since the selection committee started seeding teams in 1985. The first and only No. 4 team to win the title before Monday night was Arizona in 1997.
That 2011 title was UConn’s third under former coach Jim Calhoun and third in school history. The school’s first came in 1999 when UConn beat Duke to win the national championship. UConn then won the title in 2004.While the Aztecs found themselves down double digits for most of the second half, they didn’t go away.
