March Madness is still easy for UConn.
The fourth-seeded Huskies dominated their Elite 8 matchup against No. 3 Gonzaga, 82-54 and earned another trip to the Final Four in Houston.
It’s the school’s sixth Final Four in history and first since 2014: They’re 4-1 in the national semifinals. This is also their first tournament since the 2015-16 season.
The men came to play after the Lady Huskies suffered a devastating loss at Ohio State several hours earlier — someone had to change the mood on campus.
