NCAA Tournament Recap: #9 Texas A&M vs #1 UCONN

 

West Regional Matchup


No. 1 Connecticut (31-4) 92, No. 9 Texas A&M (24-10) 66

Key Moment: When Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun returned to the bench after missing Thursday's game because of dehydration -- he stayed in a local hospital as a precaution -- it was a welcomed sight.
High Point Scorers: Connecticut -- A.J. Price 27  Texas A&M -- Bryan Davis, Donald Sloan 12
Analysis: The Huskies might be one of the most efficient offensive teams in the nation because they have so many options including Price, Jeff Adrien and Stanley Robinson. Connecticut got hot and stayed hot as it shot 58 percent from the field. A&M had a nice run to get into the tournament but when you fall behind 18-8 early like the Aggies did, that's too much to overcome.
What's Next: The Huskies advance to the Sweet 16 in Glendale, AZ and meet No. 5 Purdue which knocked off No. 4 Washington, 76-74. The Boilermakers are really going to have to have great play from their top three scorers in Robbie Hummel, JaJuan Johnson and E'Twaun Moore just to stay in it.
