Game Preview

UConn dominated the Big East like never before, and now the defending national champions are setting their sights on winning the conference tournament.

Likely locked into a No. 1 seed at next week’s NCAA Tournament, the second-ranked Huskies play their conference tournament opener Thursday afternoon when they face ninth-seeded Xavier in a quarterfinal matchup. UConn is the Big East tourney’s top seed.

The Huskies (28-3) are seeking their first conference tournament title since Kemba Walker sparked their run to a third national championship in 2011 when they won five games in five days in a 16-team field.
