Miami guard Isaiah Wong drives to the basket against Connecticut guard Andre Jackson Jr. during the first half of a Final Four college basketball game in the NCAA Tournament on Saturday, April 1, 2023, in Houston. UConn doled out another drama-free basketball beatdown Saturday, getting 21 points and 10 rebounds from Adama Sanogo to dispatch Miami 72-59 and move one win from the school’s fifth national title.
On Monday in the title game, the Huskies will face San Diego State, which became the first team to hit a buzzer-beater while trailing in a Final Four game for a 72-71 victory over Florida Atlantic. The semifinal victory was UConn’s closest win in five tournament games, and it became only the sixth team since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985 to reach the title game after winning its first five in the tournament by double digits. It’s an impressive list with a daunting epilogue: Four of the previous five teams won the championship.
UConn did enjoy its own sort of buzzer-beater. It was a 3 from Alex Karaban that sent the Huskies jogging into the locker room with a 13-point halftime lead.
