UConn Huskies in the Championship game: A guide

The University of Connecticut men's basketball team takes on San Diego State in Houston for the NCAA Div. 1 Championship title.

HOUSTON — After all this, it's down to one game.

The Aztecs are 15-3 in MWC play. San Diego State has a 26-6 record against teams above .500.

TOP PERFORMERS: Jordan Hawkins averages three made 3-pointers per game for the Huskies, scoring 16.2 points while shooting 38.6% from beyond the arc. Adama Sanogo is averaging 17.2 points and 7.6 rebounds over the last 10 games for UConn.

Matt Bradley is shooting 40.1% and averaging 12.7 points for the Aztecs. Micah Parrish is averaging 1.3 made 3-pointers over the last 10 games for San Diego State.
