Coach Bob Cantu is back on “Marching to Madness” as we wind up the college basketball season after UConn took its fifth national championship in the last 24 years on Monday night. The Huskies pulled away from San Diego State, 76-59, after the Aztecs had cut their deficit to 60-55 with just over five minutes remaining in the game.
Coach Cantu had his own close relationships with members of the Final Four as he and FAU head coach Dusty May were at USC in 2001 and 2002. Coach Cantu has also known San Diego State head coach Brian Dutcher since the mid-1990s while Cameron Whiteman is the manager at Miami as his father Kirk played for Hurricanes head coach Jim Larranaga at Bowling Green.
Topics of discussion include:
- UConn’s fifth national title
- Adama Sanogo, Tristen Newton, and Jordan Hawkins as a prime triplicate for the Huskies
- San Diego State’s five-win run to the title game
- FAU and Miami as teams who could return a huge majority of players
… And much more!
