We're disappointed in the loss, but there's a brotherhood in the locker room that will never be divided by a margin of victory or not winning at all. I've just got so much admiration for how they play and their coach, he's one of the best coaches in the country." We had to be at our best to win the game. It's just great to come through on promises made to these players and the university. We weren't at our best. "It's part of the programme, we sold the vision – I sold the vision to the university that I could put together a special group of people, a coaching staff, and unbelievable players like this, so it feels great to come through.

Tristen Newton led UConn Huskies with 19 points in their 76-59 victory over San Diego State Aztecs.

"We weren't ranked going into the year, so we had the chip on our shoulder. They cut the lead to five with five minutes to go, but a three-pointer from Jordan Hawkins - whose cousin Angel Reese Tristen Newton scored 19 points while Adama Sanogo scored 17 and grabbed 10 rebounds for his third double-double of the tournament.
