Against a four-seeded University of Connecticut team who has had no games decided by less than 10 during this NCAA Tournament, the five-seeded San Diego State University gave the Huskies enough freedom to grow an irreversible lead.
The Aztecs fell just short of their National Championship hopes as they fell to the Huskies, 76-59 on Monday, April 4.
The Aztecs started off hot, going 4-of-4 from the field, but then a hypothermic temperature switch changed the narrative.
The Aztecs went 0-of-14 from the 16:32 mark in the first half, following a turnaround jumper by senior guard Matt Bradley, all the way up until the 5:25 mark, where senior guard Darrion Trammell’s floater finally broke the cold streak.
