Live Updates: San Diego State Inches Closer to UConn

As Connecticut moves closer to a championship, its gallop is bordering on the historic: If the Huskies defeat San Diego State by at least 13 points, they will become the first men’s champion since the 1981 Indiana Hoosiers to win each of their N.C.A.A. tournament games by that margin.

As the Aztecs were regularly foiled in the paint and had zero bench points at the half, they had plenty of company in frustration. Nobody has challenged the Huskies in this tournament, at least not for a sustained period of time.

UConn’s average margin of victory was 20.
