UConn quickly proved to be the better team Monday night, and while for a brief stretch in the second half San Diego State cut the lead to just six points, UConn asserted itself once again, putting the game out of reach.
In the end, UConn’s size and toughness was too much for the Aztecs and as victory became inevitable, watching Dan Hurley on the sideline was amazing.
Hurley’s emotions are never far from the surface. If you read this link Monday, you’ll have a good idea of how wildly his emotions can swing.
As the Huskies closed in, Hurley bounced up and down, scowled, hugged his players passionately, all while trying to coach the last few minutes as he has been trained to do.
