Two pieces of hardware are coming back to Storrs. After the women’s team won the Phil Knight Legacy on Sunday afternoon, No. 20 UConn men’s basketball took down Iowa State, 71-53, to win the Phil Knight Invitational in Portland, Oregon.
The Huskies had a massive rebounding advantage, grabbing 48 boards, 21 of which were on the offensive glass. The Cyclones had a mere 19. Donovan Clingan (15 points, 10 rebounds) and Andre Jackson (10 points, 13 rebounds) each had a double-double as two of four UConn players to reach double figures. Clingan won MVP honors for his exploits, as he played just 18 minutes.
