UConn Vs. San Diego State: Aztecs Rally To Cut Lead To 42-38
On the last play, Kahwi Leonard drove, dished to Thomas, who dribbled in and fought off three defenders to score a layup and draw the foul. Earlier, Thomas got the ball in the post and did a great fake for a right-handed hook shot on the baseline. Prior to that, D.J. Gay stole an outlet pass and fed Thomas for a fast-break layup to cut the lead to 40-34.
Kemba Walker continues to carry UConn, scoring two layups off dribble drives to the rim. He looked like he shot out of a jet on both of them. However, his teammates have gone cold, with Jeremy Lamb and Alex Oriakhi missing shots.
