The newsroom was aloof. Even though the TV was on, no one really cared. The game was over shortly after the second half inbound pass.
Kemba Walker scored 28 points on 10-for-20 and No. 21 Connecticut moved on in the Big East tournament with a breeze of a game. Walker was also 8-for-10 at the charity stripe.
Final score, 79-62, but it wasn’t even that close.
The Huskies (23-9) were the ninth-seed in the conference tournament, forced to beat DePaul in the opening round just to face the eighth-seeded Hoyas.
Perhaps UConn felt mis-seeded.
No. 22 Georgetown (21-10) still has not won since losing guard Chris Wright to a broken left hand. Coach John Thompson III has made it known that Wright could return for the NCAA tournament, especially if the Hoyas manage to make it through the opening week.
