A spot in the Elite Eight of the NCAA March Madness Tournament will go to either the No. 1 seed UConn Huskies (33-3) or the No. 5 seed San Diego State Aztecs (26-10) when the two teams square off in the Sweet 16 on Thursday at TD Garden.
The Huskies entered the tournament as one of the most highly-coveted teams after overwhelming the Aztecs, 76-59, in last year's Championship game. And they have shown they are truly capable of defending their crown, with convincing wins to open March Madness.
They boast the offensive firepower, and the national championship swagger, and the size everywhere on the floor to truly destroy their opponents. They now take on a familiar face in San Diego Aztecs later this week.
The Aztecs narrowly avoided an upset at the hands of No. 12 UAB in the first round with a 69-65 win, but they eased to a 85-57 victory over No. 13 Yale Bulldogs on Sunday night to set up this revenge Sweet 16 tie.
