Jonny Broom fires early for the Tigers.
Auburn vs. Yale is the same trend. The Tigers went on a tear through the SEC Tournament. Auburn is led by Johnny Broom who averages over 16 points and 8 rebounds per game. The Tigers are making nearly 55% of their 2-point shots with 18 assists, which ranks seventh in the nation.
Why is UConn a dream opponent to face in the NCAA tournament? Because its practitioner is never satisfied.
With the Huskies leading Stetson 52-19 at halftime on Friday afternoon, Dan Hurley walked off the floor angry at how his team finished the first half. When asked by CBS Sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson why he was shaking his head, Hurley spoke like a 33-run coach.
According to ESPN Stats & Info, UConn's halftime lead is the largest in program history and the second largest in the NCAA Tournament in the last 20 years. The Huskies led 46-10 at one point before allowing Stetson to finish on a 9-7… oh… run.
Unfortunately only the blowers are going on. UConn beats Stetson, Clemson pulls away from New Mexico. Let's see if the Lobos can recover and come back.
