Winner of Arizona-Michigan awaits in championship
UConn got another critical three-pointer from Braylon Mullins and coach Dan Hurley’s Huskies are heading back to the national title game after beating Illinois 71-62 in the Final Four on Saturday night. They are seeking their third championship in four seasons.
Tarris Reed Jr had 17 points and 11 rebounds, while the fabulous freshman Mullins scored 15 for the Huskies (34-5), who rode strong inside play and tough defense to their 19th straight victory in the Sweet 16 or later rounds of the NCAA Tournament.
