HOUSTON — UConn topped off one of the most impressive March Madness runs in history Monday night, clamping down early and breaking it open late to bring home its fifth national title with a 76-59 victory over San Diego State.
UConn built a 16-point lead late in the first half, only to see the Aztecs trim the lead to five with 5:19 left. But Jordan Hawkins answered with a 3 to trigger a 9-0 run and the only drama left was whether UConn would cover the 7 1/2-point spread and go six for six with double-digit wins. They went from leading by four to trailing by 11, and when they weren't getting shots blocked or altered on the inside, they were coming up short — a telltale sign of a team that was out of hops after that draining 72-71 buzzer-beater win over Florida Atlantic two nights earlier.
And yet, there was something decidedly old-school about the way the Huskies took care of business in the early going.
