SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — UConn coach Geno Auriemma complained Friday about the women's NCAA Tournament format that once again has sent the Huskies across the country. And possibly back again.

UConn is playing in the Spokane Region, facing Oklahoma in the Sweet 16 on Saturday night. If the Huskies can win the region, they'll travel across the country to Tampa, Florida, for the Final Four.
