Game Preview
Since winning two national championships in a four-season span, UConn has had little to show for its efforts in the NCAA Tournament.
With just one win over the last eight years on their March Madness resume, the fourth-seeded Huskies will begin their quest to reach the promised land once again when they face No. 13 seed Iona in Albany, N.Y., on Friday in a first-round matchup in the West Region.
UConn (25-8) went all the way in 2011 and 2014 but has since sputtered when the lights are shining brightest. The Huskies have gone to the big dance in each of the past two seasons, with each trip ending in similar fashion.
