The Connecticut Huskies just dominated the first half, ending with Alex Karaban hitting a three pointer at the buzzer to give the top remaining seed a 37-24 lead.

You knew it would be that kind of night when Huskies’ 6’9″ Forward Adama Sanogo, who only hit 17 three pointers all season, hit two three pointers to start the game.  The Hurricanes didn’t have an answer for him in the lane either, as he rolled for 13 points going 5-6 from the field.

But the big story is that the Huskies defense is stopping the explosive Miami offense, as the Hurricanes are only shooting 25% from the field.  The 24 points is the lowest total number of points the Hurricanes have scored all season.

UConn has beaten everyone in the tournament by over 15 points, and they have a 13 minutes lead at halftime.  It just doesn’t look like anything can stop the Huskies.  But as we saw in the first game, teams can come back from double digits, and the Hurricanes have had their own experience doing that as they needed a second half comeback to beat the Texas Longhorns.

Twenty minutes of basketball left to see who will join San Diego State in the championship game!!!
