ARLINGTON, Texas
(AP) -- DeAndre Daniels had 20 points and 10 rebounds Saturday to
help UConn snap Florida's 30-game win streak with a 63-53 upset of the
Gators at the Final Four.
Shabazz Napier had
12 for the seventh-seeded Huskies (31-8), who trailed 16-4 midway
through the first half but took the lead by halftime and pushed it to
double digits early in the second half.
UConn will play for its second title in four years Monday against Kentucky or Wisconsin.
The Huskies were the last team to beat the Gators (36-3), 65-64 back on Dec. 2.
Florida
came in as the tournament's top overall seed. Patric Young had 19
points and Casey Prather added 15 for the Gators, but Scottie Wilbekin
was held to four points with three turnovers.
