With a 69-point win over Arkansas State in the opening round, the UConn women's basketball team advances to the NCAA Tournament Round of 32. After making the Final Four in 2024, Geno Auriemma, Paige Bueckers and the Huskies look to bring the school its first national championship since 2016.

Eight seeds have gone on incredible runs through the NCAA Tournament in the past, and even though the road is quite difficult, knocking out a No. 1 in Round 2 can give a team the confidence — and the clear path — it needs to march all the way to the Final Four.
