San Diego State started the game off hot with two three pointers to take a 10-6 lead.  And then, the Connecticut Huskies took the game over.

There was a stretch of 10 entire minutes where San Diego State did not make a field goal.  The Huskies had a pretty balanced attack as Tristen Newton scored 9, and Jordan Hawkins and Adama Sanogo both added 7.  And after that hot start, Connecticut went on a 30-10 run.

Fortunately, San Diego State’s Keshad Johnson and Darrion Trammell scored the last two baskets of the half to cut the lead to 12.

We can’t crown the Huskies just yet – remember last year Kansas came back from down big to win.  Remember that San Diego State was down 13 to Florida Atlantic, 8 to Creighton, 9 to Alabama, and 7 to Charleston during the tournament.  They even came back from being 11 down to Utah State in the Mountain West Tournament championship game.

Do the Aztecs have any more magic left in their season to pull one more comeback?  Or will the Huskies continue to beat everyone in the tournament by double digits?  Only 20 minutes of basketball left in the season to decide a champion!!!!!
