1-Seed — UConn Huskies
Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports
The defending National Champions have shown they are serious about going back-to-back. UConn cruised to a 39-point win in the Round of 64 and defeated Northwestern by 17 to advance to the Sweet 16. In the second half against Northwestern, the Huskies demonstrated why they will be so tough to beat. Despite shooting 1-of-11 from three in the second half, UConn shot over 54-percent from the field over the final 20 minutes en route to an easy win. The Huskies are deep and battle-tested. A rematch of last year’s championship game against San Diego State awaits.
