The semifinal round of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament took place on Saturday with both games contested as AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
In the opener, DeAndre Daniels scored 20 points and grabbed 10 rebounds as the Connecticut Huskies (seeded #7 in the East Region; 31-8) snapped the Florida Gators' (seeded #1 both in the South Region and overall; 36-3) 30-game winning streak, 63-53. The Huskies were the last team to beat the Gators (on December 2) before Saturday.
In the nightcap, Aaron Harrison converted an NBA-range three-point basket with 5.7 seconds remaining to lift the Kentucky Wildcats (seeded #8 in the Midwest Region; 29-10) to a 74-73 victory over the Wisconsin Badgers (seeded #2 in the West Region; 30-8). James Young scored 17 points to pace the Wildcats.
On Monday, Connecticut squares off against Kentucky for the national title (6:10 Pacific Time, CBS).
