NEW YORK – UConn’s run at an unprecedented fourth consecutive national championship will begin at home.
The Huskies were the top overall seed in the women’s NCAA Tournament that was revealed Monday. UConn (32-0) potentially won’t have to leave the state until the Final Four, which is in Indianapolis this year. The Huskies are in the Bridgeport Regional, which also includes third-seeded UCLA.
The Bruins (24-8), who also were a No.3 seed the last time they played in the tournament three years ago, open Saturday at 3:30p.m. PDT against 14th-seeded Big West Tournament champion Hawaii (21-10) at Pauley Pavilion.
