UConn won each of its first four NCAA tournament games by double digits heading into the Final Four.

Make that five.

The Huskies opened up a 9-0 lead against Miami in the national semifinal on Saturday and kept the gas down through the final buzzer in a 72-59 win. They advance to face San Diego State in Monday's national championship game. As they've done throughout the tournament, the Huskies controlled almost every aspect of the game.

All-Big East guard Jordan Hawkins started after a stomach bug limited him in practice and left his status for tip-off in the air.
