BOULDER — It's a familiar adage to be wary of teams that enter the NCAA Tournament on a hot streak.
Unfortunately for the Colorado Buffaloes, few teams enter the 68-team fray riding a hotter streak than the UConn Huskies.
Despite finishing the regular season in the No. 6 slot in the American Athletic Conference, the Huskies ran the table in their league tournament, notching a win for the ages in a four- overtime odyssey in the opener against Cincinnati.
Granted, the AAC Tournament field did not include second-place finisher SMU, a top-25 team for most of the season.
