Defending champ UConn eager to take fight to top-seeded Florida

Related Topics: University of Connecticut

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Top-seeded Florida and eighth-seeded UConn share common NCAA Tournament resumes. Their styles might be considerably different when they meet Sunday afternoon in a second-round game in West Region. Florida (31-4) has a high-powered offense and depth for days. UConn (24-10) might be more prone to getting it done defensively, particularly if things are going well for the two-time defending champion Huskies. Even before UConn's late-night victory Friday against Oklahoma, Huskies coach Dan Hurley had seen glimpses of Florida during the past week. Sunday's game will mark the second in a row for UConn against a team from the Southeastern Conference.
