PHILADELPHIA — Jim Calhoun and UConn are both back in familiar spots.

Calhoun returned to his regular seat on the bench and led the Huskies to another berth in the round of 16.

A.J. Price scored 27 points, Jeff Adrien had 23 and Connecticut dominated Texas A&M from the opening tip in a 92-66 victory yesterday, putting the Huskies in the round of 16 for the 12th time under their Hall of Fame coach.

"Are we special yet?" Calhoun said. "A couple of wins from now, we're going to have an idea."

After getting treatment for dehydration and missing Connecticut's first-round game, Calhoun came back and never had to worry. The Huskies scored the first 10 points and kept pulling away for their second straight NCAA blowout.

Stanley Robinson had 12 points for the top-seeded Huskies (29-4), who will play Purdue in the West Region semifinals in Glendale, Ariz.

Bryan Davis and Donald Sloan led the ninth-seeded Aggies with 12 points each.
