NCAA Tournament Scores: Kemba Walker Scores 14 Points As UConn Leads San Diego State At Halftime
Kemba Walker has come alive after a slow start, with 14 first-half points. He is 5-12 from the field, which is due to San Diego State’s stingy halfcourt defense. But Walker has gotten shots in transition and has managed to get to the free-throw line. Jeremy Lamb has also been outstanding, with 10 points on just three shots. Overall, UConn is 5-10 from beyond the three-point line, which has been the key.
Billy White has seven points to lead San Diego State, but his costly turnover in transition kick-started UConn’s run. Kahwi Leonard and Malcolm Thomas battled foul trouble to score six and four points, respectively.
The winner faces the winner of No. 1 Duke vs. No. 5 Arizona later Thursday.
