Stephon Castle, No. 1 UConn Rout Stetson as CBB Fans Predict Back-to-Back NCAA Titles

It was business as usual in the first round of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament for the UConn Huskies.

The defending champions entered the tournament having won seven consecutive games, including the Big East Championship Game, and strolled into the tournament as the No. 1 overall seed. That set up a date with No. 16 seed Stetson University and the Huskies did not take their foot off the gas pedal, exploding for a dominant 91-52 victory to advance to the second round.

The Huskies took a huge 52-19 lead at halftime and managed the big lead throughout the second half against the Hatters.
