UConn men's basketball is advancing to the next round of the NCAA Tournament with an impressive win over San Diego State."Just a great group of guys," head coach Dan Hurley said after the game."They defend, they rebound, they play great offense."
A year after cruising to their fifth national championship — winning their six NCAA Tournament games by an average of almost 20 points — the Huskies followed up blowouts last weekend with their ninth straight double-digit March Madness victory. But for the second straight year, the Aztecs ran into UConn, which is now three victories away from becoming the first team to repeat as NCAA champions since Florida in 2006 and ’07.
The Huskies went up by double digits for good in the opening minutes of the second half when Newton — thanks to an offensive rebound and assist from Clingan — hit a 3-pointer to make it 45-33. Up 17 with eight minutes left, UConn scored the next nine points to pull away.
