Jordan Hawkins scored 20 points and Connecticut cruized past its fourth straight NCAA Tournament opponent, earning its first trip to the Final Four in nine years with an 82-54 blowout of Gonzaga on Saturday night.
The Huskies (29-8) have felt right at home in their first extended March Madness run since winning the 2014 national championship, playing their best basketball of what had been an up-and-down season.
Take a step back and think about these matchups:
Kansas State vs. Florida Atlantic
Gonzaga vs. ConnecticutSan Diego State vs. Creighton
Texas vs. MiamiDifferent leagues. Every part of the country. You could make a case for anyone to win. CBB delivers what others can’t.
