UConn fended off several Miami runs to win its matchup with the Hurricanes in the Final Four in Houston on Saturday.

That was an all-timer. This one -- more of the same from the Huskies . The double-digit victory over Miami was UConn's closest win in five tournament games. Isaiah Wong led the ’Canes with 15 points on 4-for-10 shooting. Harassed constantly by Sanogo, 7-foot-2 Donovan Clingan and the rest of Connecticut's long-armed, rangy perimeter players, Miami, which came in with the nation's fifth-best offense, shot 25% in the first half and 33.3% for the game.
