This date in UConn history: UConn annihilates Texas In 2015 Sweet 16

[Sluconn Husky]

Doubt the Longhorns are fans of March 28th. Back-to-back tourney matchups with the Huskies and this was UConn at its best.

The 2015 game vs. Texas was in the Sweet 16. That was the 51-point annihilation.

The 2016 game in the Elite 8 was considerably less of a blowout, and in fact was UConn's closest game of the tournament.

I was at that game. It was great to watch. But the Huskies did have a battle in their next game vs upstart Dayton, at least during the 1st half, when the Flyers held a 1 pt lead at intermission. The 2nd half was all UConn.

Yeah, I don't know why I thought it was the Elite 8. Can't edit the title but I changed the post a bit.

2015 was a strange year for Texas. They started the season 13-0, including wins over Stanford (who had just beaten UConn) and Tennessee (then a top-5 team) and climbed to #3 in the AP poll. Then they lost tough road games at Iowa State and Oklahoma, and then in the game at Baylor lost their best player, Nneka Enemkpali, to an ACL injury. That really sent them reeling, and they ended up losing 8 out of 10 games in that stretch.

They finally righted the ship down the stretch, winning 7 of their last 9 games heading into the NCAAs. As a #5 seed, they won a close 2nd round game at #4 Cal to earn the privilege of a trip to Albany.

A lot of great reminders of how easy Moriah made it look to slip picks.

Just rewatch that game. OMG, that team was sooooo good. This also serves as a reminder of how bad freshman who eventually became All-American can look on a Uconn team.
