The UConn Huskies, known for their March Madness success under coach Dan Hurley, are looking to set a new Division I men’s record with a 14th straight NCAA Tournament win against top seed Florida. The two-time defending champions are facing a tough challenge as they are 9.5-point underdogs against a Florida team that is considered one of the favorites to win the national championship.
Hurley’s team, led by star freshman Liam McNeeley, will need a strong offensive performance to pull off the upset against the high-scoring Gators. UConn’s defense, which has been a weak point this season, will need to step up to contain Florida’s lethal 3-point shooting.
While Florida is favored to win, UConn is no stranger to playing the underdog role and has a track record of pulling off unexpected victories. To win, the Huskies will need their key players to perform at their best and get contributions from role players. It promises to be an exciting matchup between two talented teams vying for a spot in the Sweet 16.
