Finally, UConn makes a run
TAMPA, Fla. -- The tide is starting to turn here in Tampa, albeit a bit slower than I expected.
Connecticut has scrapped within 3 at 44-41, and with 11:19 left there is plenty of time to make this a rout.
The Huskies are starting to get the ball deep into the lane for easy looks and have put together a 6-0 run, all on layups.
UConn is getting good shots around the basket but having a hard time finishing. Meanwhile, San Diego's slick ballhandlers have done a good job creating open shots all over the floor.
The Johnson & Johnson backcourt isn't intimidated at all, and you can tell the Toreros see this as their game. SDU is altering the Huskies' shots and not giving up easy baskets.
Still, UConn is missing a lot of easy shots, and they are bound to start falling.
Foul situation:
De'Jon Jackson has 3 for San Diego, the most for any player. The rest of the Toreros' starting five has two a piece.
For UConn, Jeff Adrien and Jerome Dyson have two each.
