Up next for UConn is a wrinkle: A rematch with a San Diego State team that was outclassed in the title game a year ago and remembers itThe UConn Huskies pretty much wrecked every team they faced in the NCAA Tournament on the way to last year’s championship and the first two games this March Madness look awfully familiar.

“We're excited to get off to Boston,” coach Brian Dutcher said Tuesday morning before the Aztecs headed to the airport for their cross-country flight. “The good news is, we're not playing the Celtics.
