Kemba Walker Shines Again On The Big Stage

Kemba Walker continued to build up his UConn legacy after leading the 3rd seeded Huskies to a 74-67 over number 2 San Diego State with a 36 point effort. Kemba took over in the 2nd half scoring 22 points and not allowing the Aztecs a chance to get back into the game. After seeming to fade down the stretch of the regular season the Huskies have rebounded in a big way. Kemba took over Madison Square Garden making history as UConn won 5 games in 5 days to win the Big East Tournament and earn a 3 seed. The Huskies will make their 10th Elite Eight.

Kemba Walker's play has single-handedly raised expectations for this UConn team that could not have foreseen this outcome heading in to the season. As a Junior Kemba leads one of the nation's youngest teams that starts 3 Freshmen and a Sophomore alongside the player of the year candidate. The Huskies last reached the Elite Eight in 2009 when they reached the Final Four and won their first ever Sweet 16 game where they were the lower seed. Kemba and UConn can't rest for long however as they await the Arizona Wildcats who dominated top seeded Duke in the 2nd half.
