The game was never close after the Huskies went on a 12-2- run to close the first half. UCONN led by as many as 41 points in the second half, which is amazing. It’s even more amazing that Walker and most of the other UCONN starters played until the final four minutes of the game. They certainly weren’t needed. Walker ended with 18 points, 12 assists and eight rebounds to lead the way.
