It's gameday. The UConn men's basketball team is getting ready to take on New Mexico State in the NCAA Tournament in Buffalo, New York. The game starts at.
And he is so good with head fakes and shoulder fakes and you just got to stay down and be the second guy to leave the floor and not be overly aggressive against him because he is an unbelievable counter-puncher,” Hurley said. I don't know if there's anyone in the Big East that we've played against that has that type of release, and you just have to stay down and be disciplined against him because he has so much stuff off the dribble. “You know how that goes.

Aubrien Jimenez, 15, is battling a rare form of cancer. She then fought through excruciating pain to walk the block or so to the car, and it was off to the cabin in Cooperstown. On Saturday, Mario received a call from Hurley’s son, Danny, who invited the family to Storrs for Selection Sunday. They stayed at The Graduate Storrs Hotel. “This situation for me — for my life, for my family’s life — is a strikeout,” Mario said. Aubrien Jimenez, 15, is battling a rare form of cancer. The family’s life started turning upside down in December 2020, when Aubrien, a talented softball player at Inspiration Academy, lost her sense of taste and smell. This the real power of college athletics and its people, value that has nothing to do with a ledger sheet or a bracket or winning and losing.
The last time the Huskies were bounced from the first round of the NCAA tourney for a second straight season, Calhoun wasn't even a college student yet. There ...
Maybe the Huskies hit the transfer portal, something Hurley was one of the few power-conference coaches in the country not to utilize last year. The last time UConn qualified for three straight NCAA tournaments was 2003-06. These questions and more will get answered in the coming weeks. If Cole leaves, the Huskies will be desperate to find a point guard for next season. Jalen Gaffney had a subpar junior season and it’s unclear if he’d be ready to handle the load. And still made 10 of his final 18 shots, and scored the Aggies’ final 15 points. He carried a quiet confidence the rest of the week. And put him at the very top. But New Mexico State? A 12-seed out of the Western Athletic Conference? Yes, parity reigns in college basketball (ask John Calipari). Still, hard to justify. OK, at least the Terrapins were a Big 10 program with some high-level talent. (And only a cynic would point out that UConn’s lone win over ‘Nova came after Hurley was ejected from the game and Kimani Young took as head coach). The Huskies sandwiched that emotional win over Villanova on Feb. 22 between two more losses to the Wildcats, who’ve beaten them five of six times since Dan Hurley has taken over the reins.
At long last, New Mexico State has returned to the win column in the NCAA Tournament after beating No. 5 seed UConn 70-63 in Thursday's first round.
Over the years, New Mexico State suffered through numerous close calls as a double-digit seed, including a 78-77 defeat at the hands of No. 5 seed Auburn in 2019 before the Tigers made a Final Four run. At long last, New Mexico State has returned to the win column in the NCAA Tournament after beating No. 5 seed UConn 70-63 in Thursday's first round. UConn has not advanced a Sweet 16 since winning the national title in 2014.
Allen scored 37 points, including 12th-seeded New Mexico State's final 15, to buffalo the fifth-seeded Huskies 70-63 in an NCAA Tournament first-round game ...
The Aggies outrebounded UConn 17-11, and the Huskies (third in the nation in offensive rebounding) had just two offensive boards at the break. Sanogo missed an easy reverse layup, Will McNair scored on a dunk and the Aggies’ lead was quickly nine again. Meanwhile, after missing his first six shots, Allen made his next five — most of them after Jackson went to the bench with his second foul with 6:18 left in the half. When Allen hit a jumper with 39 seconds left before the break, New Mexico State had a 32-22 lead. With the frontcourt size and the athletes, we knew it was a tough match-up. Martin got the Allen assignment after Jackson’s second and simply wasn’t able to contain him — though Allen did hit some tough shots. Eight of those were on the offensive boards, and nearly all of those eight seemed to come at critical times. Cole followed with a drive, but Allen was fouled by Andre Jackson with 52.4 seconds left and made both free throws. The Huskies shot 35 percent from the floor and hit just 2 of 11 3-pointers. “That’s a credit to him.” UConn finishes 23-10 after getting bounced from the NCAA Tournament’s opening round for a second straight season. And they got a performance from Teddy Allen today that sent us home.”
RJ Cole led the way for UConn with 20 points, while Adama Sanogo had 10 points and eight rebounds. Both offenses were brutal to start. At the under-12 minute ...
The Aggies’ star had 15 of his 37 points in the final five minutes of the game, hitting nine free-throws and converting on both of his field-goal attempts. The Huskies continued to look better offensively and got within four points after a second flop warning resulting in a technical free throw with 12:28 remaining. UConn got the message as Cole and Isaiah Whaley each hit long shots of their own to bring it back to eight. New Mexico State finished on a 12-2 run to end the first half which put UConn in trouble, trailing 32-22 heading into the break. On the other side, the Huskies didn’t have anyone to match Allen’s performance. Allen got onto the scoresheet with 9:41 to go, then he hit another on New Mexico State’s ensuing possession.

New Mexico State had not been back to Upstate New York since beating Syracuse in the Carrier Dome. In Buffalo, Allen and the Aggies made another memory.

Hate to see them go out like this.— Puneet Nanda (@UConnPuneet) March 18, 2022 Teddy Allen is a beast, but just another brutal disappointment.— UConn Stats (@UConnStats) March 18, 2022 Really sad to lose that way.— Storrs South (@UConn6thBorough) March 18, 2022 They needed to win this game. The UConn men’s basketball team was bounced from the NCAA Tournament with a 70-63 first round loss to New Mexico State Thursday night. Just a disgrace honestly.

That’s how seasons are judged, especially when you maintain throughout that is the way they are to be judged. The season was built around winning in the NCAA Tournament, at least one game. “So it was a tough way to go out.” They lifted the program to heights that were seemingly light years away when Hurley was hired. With 32 seconds left, Allen stole a pass by Cole and drove the length of the court instead of killing time. Not the ones the Huskies were most interested in, the ones legacies are built on. But they had the best player on the court Thursday, by far. The Huskies worked their way to a 58-58 tie but Allen’s 3-pointer with 1:43 remain gave New Mexico State a lead he would protect from there. I don’t think we’ve seen a guy take the type of shots he took during the course of the season or seasons. It was the night when rebounding was a problem, when perimeter shooting was off, when UConn looked so tight until it was in a 14-point hole and desperate. He didn’t face the Huskies last year while at Nebraska, either. Allen, a college basketball nomad with his fifth program, missed his first six shots and then … forget it.
Teddy Allen led the Aggies to an upset against the Huskies.
Allen made a steal shortly after the Aggies took a 63–60 lead against UConn with less than a minute to play in the game. The Aggies took a 66–60 lead with 28 seconds to play. R. J. Cole led the Huskies in scoring, pouring in 20 points, followed by Adama Sanogo with 10 points and eight rebounds.
