Defending national champion UConn, a day removed from winning the Big East Tournament and improving to 31-3, was selected as the No. 1 overall seed Sunday during the NCAA Tournament selection show.
The Huskies, who have won seven in a row and finished 7-2 this season against teams in the Associated Press Top 25, are joined on the 1 line by Houston, Purdue and North Carolina, three teams that have been consistently in the Top 10 this season but lost in their respective conference tournaments last week.
UConn will open its title defense at Barclays Center in Brooklyn against Stetson on Friday.
