The University of Connecticut’s men’s basketball team is a juggernaut. After rolling to the Big East Conference regular season title with an 18-2 record and then defeating Marquette in the Big East Tournament championship by 73-57 on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden, the 31-3 Huskies enter the NCAA Tournament as the top seed in the East region and No. 1 overall seed among all teams.
The Huskies won the DI men’s title last year, crushing San Diego State by 76-59 in the finals. Each of their six wins en route to the championship were by double-digits. This iteration of the Huskies is likely to face a close game along their path this year and could even be a victim of an upset, given the randomness and unpredictability of the tournament, which makes it one of the world’s most compelling and dramatic sporting events.
