HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun had that sick feeling in his gut. His third-ranked Huskies were headed toward an apparent rout of unranked Notre Dame on Tuesday night when it suddenly unraveled.
The Fighting Irish showed why they were the best 3-point shooting team in the conference and hit four 3s in a 25-2 run to erase a 19-point second half deficit in a hurry. The Irish had their first lead at 61-60 midway through the half and Calhoun quickly called a timeout to gather his shaken team.
"They were stunned. It happened so quick," he said. "We shut the engine off and stopped playing."
