The No. 3 seed UConn Huskies (31-5) are ready for a Sweet 16 matchup against the No. 7 Duke Blue Devils (22-11) in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA March Madness Tournament.
Back in the Pacific Northwest, this time playing in Portland, Oregon instead of Seattle for the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16, the Huskies are still reeling from last year's upset against Ohio State, who snapped UConn's run of 14 straight Final Four appearances and slumped the program to their earliest exit in the NCAA Tournament since 2005.
This year, the Huskies opened the tournament with an 86-64 win over No. 14 Jackson State in the first round before overcoming No. 6 Syracuse 72-64 in Monday's second round in Storrs to advance to the program's 30th Sweet 16 in a row.
Duke, meanwhile, made it to the Sweet 16 after beating No. 2 Ohio State 75-63 in the second round. The Blue Devils beat No. 10 Richmond 72-61 in the first round.
The winner of this tie faces the winner of No. 1 USC-No. 5 Baylor in Monday’s Elite Eight for a chance to advance to the Final Four.
