Final Four Live: UConn Leads Miami at Halftime

Miami finished the half having made just two of its final 14 field-goal attempts as UConn built a 37-24 lead. Good sign, obviously, for the Huskies. Especially because Andre Jackson Jr., the guard and co-captain, drew two early fouls and was on the floor for just four minutes in the first half, failing to score. And because guard Jordan Hawkins, who missed Friday’s practice with a non-Covid illness, is playing but still under the weather. “He’s gutting it out right now, but he’s got nothing,” UConn Coach Dan Hurley told CBS as he left the court for halftime. Hawkins has 3 points in 14 minutes.
