UConn Amazes March Madness Fans With 30-0 Run in Dominant Elite 8 Win vs. Illinois

UConn played like a team ready to repeat as NCAA champions on Saturday night at TD Garden in Boston.

The No. 1-seeded Huskies downed the No. 3-seeded Illinois Fighting Illini 77-52 to clinch a berth in the Final Four against the winner of Saturday's matchup between Clemson and Alabama.

UConn's win was spearheaded by an incredible 30-0 run that started near the end of the first half and extended into the second half. Once the Huskies began cooking, there wasn't much Illinois could do to stop them.

Big man Donovan Clingan was unstoppable for the Huskies on Saturday, finishing with 22 points, 10 rebounds and one assist. He was a major reason why the team went on its 30-0 run.

Cam Spencer finished with 11 points, 12 rebounds and five assists and Hassan Diarra finished with 11 points, three rebounds and two assists.

While UConn was dominant overall, March Madness fans were particularly impressed with its unprecedented 30-0 run:

UConn was the team to beat entering this year's NCAA Tournament, but they proved on Saturday why they should be the most feared program in the country at this point in the season.

If the Huskies end up repeating as champions, they'll be the first team since Florida in 2006 and 2007.
