The UConn Huskies hold a 36-30 halftime lead over Cincinnati in third round NCAA Tournament action thanks to Kemba Walker’s game-high 15 points. Walker’s shooting percentage hasn’t been impressive — he’s hit just 4-10 shots — but his ability to get to the line, where he’s connected on all six free throw attempts, has been the key.
