Game Preview

With defending national champion UConn likely looming as Northwestern’s next opponent, Wildcats head coach Chris Collins knew he wouldn’t have much time to savor Friday’s first-round win over Florida Atlantic.

And that was before the Huskies posted one of their most resounding NCAA Tournament wins.

Northwestern (22-11) will look to make its first Sweet 16 and UConn (32-3) will aim to continue its march toward another national title on Sunday night when the teams meet in an East Region second-round game
