The Elite Eight opened Saturday with a dominant display from UConn, even by UConn standards.
The No. 1 overall seed mounted a 30-0 run on either side of halftime and brushed aside Illinois with ease. Dan Hurley's Huskies team is the first defending champion to reach the Final Four since Florida did so in 2007.
Now, the focus turns to UConn's next opponent. In Saturday evening's West Regional final, Clemson and Alabama play for the chance to meet the Huskies at the Final Four.
