Video: Vikings' Aaron Jones Hypes UConn, Cousin Tristen Newton, During Final Four Win

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones was in the house for No. 1 UConn's 86-72 Final Four win over No. 4 Alabama on Saturday night.

While he didn't attend UConn or Alabama, he has a special connection to the Huskies. His cousin, Tristen Newton, is a member of the team, and he got to experience the Final Four win in person.

Newton showed out in front of his cousin with 12 points and nine assists, helping lead his team to a second straight national championship game. The star guard is the Huskies' leading scorer this season and will be looking for another big performance in the title game on Monday.
