Why UConn got a No. 2 seed in 2019 women's NCAA basketball tournament

One streak continues and another one ends.

Tennessee will play in the women's NCAA tournament for the 38th consecutive season. But for the first time since 2006, UConn is not a No. 1 seed.

The Huskies receiving the No. 2 seed in the Albany Regional is the biggest and perhaps only surprise in the 64-team bracket that was released Monday.

UConn (31-2) was a No. 1 seed in the selection committee's final reveal on March 4. Since then the Huskies won the AAC tournament, Mississippi State (30-2) won the SEC tournament and Louisville (29-3) lost in decisive fashion to Notre Dame in the final of the ACC tournament.
