TAMPA, Fla. -- San Diego's Rob Jones didn't even bother leaving his feet when the ball was tossed up to start the game. The 6-foot-6 forward knew he didn't have a chance against Connecticut's 7-foot-3 center Hasheem Thabeet. When the same thing happened to begin overtime, Jones jumped so high he nearly got the tip -- a clear indication of how confident the Toreros had become. They were even ...

In the Jim Calhoun era at UConn, the Huskies had not lost a first round game (14-0). Calhoun’s record now stands at 14-1 in first round games at UConn as the San Diego Toreros upset the Huskies in a West Region First Round game at the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa, FL.

I picked 25 of the first 32 games correctly, which ain’t half bad — although I wish I’d stuck with my gut and picked Villanova over Clemson. I think that one hurts the most, but being quite possibly one of the very few who agonizes over brackets and picking the San Diego Toreros to beat UConn like they did yesterday means I’m giving myself a big ego massage (as well ...Breaking News: Price Out Til September With Torn ACL

Just some thoughts off the top of my head: - Hasheem Thabeet plays 7'3 on defense for the most part, although the San Diego Toreros did not seem too phased. However, of the offensive end, he quickly shrinks at least six inches and he never was able to assert himself on that end today. - Watching Villanova, you see why guards want to play for Jay Wright, his guards have a LOT of freedom.Jackson’s Jumper In OT Gives Toreros Upset Win Over Huskies 70-69

In what has to be the most surprising upset of the NCAA tournament thus far, unheralded University of #13 San Diego gave #4 Connecticut all it could handle - and then some. De’Jon Jackson’s jumper with 1.2 seconds left in overtime catapulted the Toreros into the second round as they upset the Huskies 70-69 in the NCAA West regional Friday at St. Pete Times Forum.
