UConn men’s basketball has had its season ended in the first round of the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive season, as No. 12 New Mexico State upset the No. 5 Huskies 70-63 in Buffalo.
RJ Cole led the way for UConn with 20 points, while Adama Sanogo had 10 points and eight rebounds.
Both offenses were brutal to start. At the under-12 minute media timeout, UConn was 3-11 from the field and New Mexico State was 2-14, which resulted in a 6-5 scoreline.
While the Huskies were struggling to make shots, their defense was smothering.
