ORLANDO, Fla. -- Daniel Hamilton and Shonn Miller scored 19 points apiece and Connecticut shrugged off a slow start Saturday to beat top-seeded Temple 77-62 in the semifinals of the American Athletic Conference Tournament.

Showing no signs of fatigue after needing four overtimes to win the longest game in league history in the quarterfinals, the Huskies built a 16-point first-half lead and weathered a couple of Temple surges before pulling away for good down the stretch.
