Fueled by its backcourt, the UConn men’s basketball team ran away from 5-seed San Diego State for a 82-52 win in the Sweet 16 rematch of last year’s title game.
Tristen Newton, Cam Spencer and Stephon Castle led the way in the national championship rematch, combining for 51 points as the reserves helped UConn grow its lead to as many as 32 late in the second half.
The win tied UConn’s record for wins in a season , which was set in 1999, when the program won its first national championship. UConn has won nine consecutive NCAA Tournament games by an average of 22.8 points.
