MANSFIELD, Conn — UConn’s climb back to national relevance took a major step forward Sunday when the Huskies were announced as a No. 7 seed in this year’s NCAA Tournament.
UConn (15-7), which has won four national titles since 1999, is returning to the NCAA Tournament for the 34th time, but the first since losing to Kansas in the second round during the 2015-16 season.
The Huskies are seeded seventh in the East bracket and will play No. 10-seed Maryland on Saturday.
UConn won its last national championship in 2014, as a seventh seed.
