In the 80 second-half minutes UConn will have played in this year's NCAA tournament, the Huskies have led by double-digits for just over 76 minutes.
Has there ever been a 30-0 run in the Elite 8?
This will be UConn's 10th straight NCAA Tournament game that results in a double-figure win. They have now won, if my math is correct, 31 of their last 32 non-Big East games.... by double-figures as well. ABSOLUTELY. INSANE.
The game was tied at 23... UConn then went on a 30-0 run. 🤯 #MarchMadness https://t.co/eRfDec6p2W
A 30-0 run in the Elite 8 has to be a record several times over, yeah? Absurdity
After missing an easy layup to start the game, Donovan Clingan has bounced back with an absolutely incredible performance. Dominant defensively. 20 points and 10 boards - in 19 minutes.
UConn is rolling 😳 The Huskies were once tied with Illinois at 23 points in the first half of their Elite Eight matchup. Then they went on a 30-0 run... https://t.co/qc7PbgWmb8
UConn’s 30-0 run tonight is the program’s longest since it started a game vs. New Hampshire 32-0 in 1990, per @UConnMBB good GAWD https://t.co/MG2KERIZXJ

Connecticut 56, Illinois 25, 11:12 to go. The Illini have scored FOUR points in 17 minutes Donovan Clingan has been on the floor. Huskies on a 33-2 run.
Just witnessed something in basketball I never thought one would see in an Elite 8 game … UConn with a 30-0 run vs Illinois … the game was 23-23 prior to the run.
has there ever been a 30-0 run in a NCAA Tourney game before this one?
I felt pretty good about my Illinois +8.5 bet when the game was tied at 23. Then UConn went on a 30-0 run. 30-0! How is that even possible?!
With 1:50 left in the first half, UConn led by 2 points. Then the Huskies went on a 30-0 run. Not sure I've ever seen anything like that before in a game of this level.
#UConn went on a 30-0 run before Illinois stopped the bleeding. One point off the longest run I’ve ever covered, which was a 31-0 Iona run against Saint Peter’s in 2012. If Illinois didn’t get a chasedown stop on Samson Johnson’s dunk attempt a minute ago, it would have been 32-0
That escalated quickly 😳 UConn went on a 30-0 RUN dating back to the first half. https://t.co/AaM1cNKrGE
Just your standard 30-0 run in the Elite 8
UConn made that 30-0 run look wayyyyy too easy. In an Elite 8 game.
Warn the North End bartenders, Storrs North is on their way. UConn just blitzed Illinois, 25-0, to start the second half. Illinois has the country's No. 2 offense, and they've just been vanquished in a 30-0 run that stretches back to the 1:49 mark of first half. UConn up 53-25.
uconn 30-0 run unreal 😂💀
A 30-0 run in the Elite Eight? #uconn

Bruh. UConn has scored 27 consecutive points
UConn now on an insane 28-0 run. Huskies lead 51-23 over Illinois. As @SethDavisHoops would say: Sharpie.
Illinois doesn't know what hit them. A 23-0 Uconn run. And counting. Looks like Huskies are headed to Phoenix
UConn is on a 21-0 run since 1:49 left in the first half 🤯 #MarchMadness @UConnMBB https://t.co/Q3SrMZticL
UConn now on a 23-0 run.
Donovan Clingan is a destroyer of worlds. Reverse bucket over Coleman Hawkins (who he is terrorizing) and then a spike block on the other end. Now 18 points, 10 boards, 5 blocks, 3 steals and plus-30 (!!!) in 17 minutes. UConn by 23. Warm up the bus.
It's now a 16-0 UConn run https://t.co/9DXO2ldBTf
Donovan Clingan with his defining sequence of a truly dominant performance https://t.co/SYnOIV9371
That's a 16-0 run for UConn, spanning from the 1:51 mark in the first half to the 15:59 mark in the second half. Incredible surge by an incredible team.
11-0 UConn run to open the second half… https://t.co/wyMvC40ksd
That's an 11-0 run by UConn to start the 2nd and they lead 39-23
What a sequence by Donovan Clingan. He stoned Quincy Guerrier at the rim and hammered a dunk on Terrence Shannon on the opposite end. UConn has seized the game, 35-23, and Clingan has been their heartbeat. He's got 14 points, 9 rebounds and 4 blocks. https://t.co/kqTjK7cHW6
It's Donovan Clingan's world and we're just living in it. The Big guy just blocked Guerrier on one end and then threw down a dunk on Shannon on the other.
Donovan Clingan has been a difference maker https://t.co/vLleuE3roV
Half: UConn 28, Illinois 23. Donovan Clingan 9 for the Huskies and Marcus Domask 15 for the Illini. Illinois shooting just 29 percent, UConn just 33 percent. Illinois will take that trade-off.
Donovan Clingan has been an absolute MONSTER on the defensive end. This is an Illini team that averages 84 points per game. Scored just 23 in the first half. Everyone not named Marcus Domask had a total of 4 field goals.
This is a virtuoso defensive performance by Donovan Clingan in the first half. Illinois simply can't get anything around the rim. Officially credited with only two blocks, think they're at least 2-3 short on that one. Impacting every Illinois drive to the basket. 29.6% on 2s.
