HOUSTON— Both teams in Monday night’s NCAA Championship have had very different roads to the big game.
The University of Connecticut has dominated its opponents and will enter the championship with an average margin of victory of 20.6 points. The Huskies’ closest contest was a 13-point win over the University of Miami in last night’s second Final Four game and even in that game, they controlled most of it, building a lead as large as 20 points.
Meanwhile, the San Diego State Aztecs have made it here by the skin of their teeth after completing two comeback wins over Creighton and Florida Atlantic University after taking the lead on both of SDSU’s final possessions of the game.
