BUFFALO, N.Y. — To R.J. Cole it was all about getting that first NCAA Tournament win. That’s what this season had been about.
Cole and his UConn teammates gave it their all, but in the end it was not enough to offset 37 points from Teddy Allen as the Huskies’ 2021-22 season came to an end, 70-63, at the hands of No. 12 seed New Mexico State on Thursday night at Keybank Arena.
The Aggies will play the winner of No. 4 Arkansas and No. 13 Vermont game in a second-round game on Saturday.
