UConn trails early

Tampa, Fla. -- Sorry for the delay. I'm still catching my breath from that Drake-Western Kentucky finish, and the Connecticut-San Diego game seems a great chance to do so.
The Toreros are showing some fight, although they are at a definite physical disadvantage.

UConn's Hasheem Thabeet, a 7-foot-3 center, dwarfs even SDU's tallest player (Nathan Lozeau, 6-foot-10). The nation's second-leading shotblocker took the opening tip with ease, drawing laughter from the crowd.
It hasn't exactly been a fun time for the Huskies though, as San Diego is taking advantage of just about every UConn mistake. It doesn't exactly look like the Huskies came out ready for this one, but once they get under control this shouldn't be a contest.
With 11:02 left in the first half, San Diego leads Connecticut 16-14.
