The UConn women's basketball team's quest for a second straight national title will begin on Sunday when the Huskies play Southwestern Athletic Conference champion Southern University in Sunday's 12:16 p.m. first-round game in Norfolk, Va.
UConn, winners of an NCAA Division I record 72 straight games, will not have a game in Connecticut during the NCAA tournament for first time since UConn made its initial NCAA tournament appearance in 1989.

The Huskies (33-0) would face the the winner of the Temple/James Madison game in Tuesday's second-round game to earn a spot in the regionals in Dayton.

UConn has reached the regionals every year since 1994.
Ohio State, Florida State and Iowa State are the other top seeds in the Dayton Regional.

UConn also earned the No. 1 overall seed and if the seeds hold form, the Huskies would meet Tennessee in the national semifinals on Apr. 4 in San Antonio, Tex. It would be the first meeting between the sport's two superpowers since Jan. 6, 2007.
