“I said from the beginning; I think our depth is going to win us the championship. It may be the shot of Nahiem Alleyne or the inside presence of Donovan Clingan, but it nonetheless will all be needed for a win on Thursday. [It’s] really hard to win a game in this tournament,” said Musselman after the Razorbacks win over Kansas. If there’s one thing to take away from this roster, especially after their comeback win over the Jayhawks, it’s that this team has talent from head to toe. While that game was a blowout by a score of 102-67, UConn possesses a 3-1 advantage historically against their opponent and they’ll hope to repeat history with major stakes on the line. Just as they did in upstate New York, they’re going to need the same as the competition ramps up and the lights only get bigger.

Live score, highlights and updates as the Huskies and Razorbacks square off in the Sweet 16 on Thursday.

Doing so turned out to be no problem for the Huskies, who led 6-3 in fast break points and edged the Razorbacks 9-4 in points off turnovers during the first half while building a lead that turned out to be insurmountable. This sequence from the Huskies in the first half stood out as an example of how well they adjusted to the game's pace. But a blowout loss in the Sweet 16 will send them into the offseason on a sour note.

The UConn men's basketball team had to change hotels after finding their rooms in poor condition upon arriving in Las Vegas, according to a new report.

A spokesman for the UConn men's team confirmed to News 3 they did change hotels but declined to comment further. Their game tips off at 4:15 p.m. The school alerted the NCAA, which is responsible for booking accommodations, and they were moved to a nearby hotel.

The UConn men are on a business trip to Vegas, but had a typical tourist problem: dirty hotel rooms. So the NCAA found them new digs.

If they win, they would play either UCLA or Gonzaga in the West Regional final on Saturday. The players, coaches and other members of the traveling party found their hotel accommodations unsuitable when they arrived Tuesday afternoon, several rooms not sufficiently cleaned from apparently rowdy previous guests. The Huskies were able to make the move and assemble for their team dinner Tuesday night, and practice on schedule Wednesday.
