2026 Tournament PreviewLooking for his third national championship in four years, coach Dan Hurley has a wealth of experience to lean on, as the Huskies enter the NCAA Tournament as a No. 2 seed. Junior guards Solo Ball (13.5 ppg) and Silas Demary (10.9 ppg, 6.2 apg) man the backcourt, while 6-8 senior Alex Karaban (12.6 ppg, 5.2 rpg) and 6-11 senior Tarris Reed (13.7 ppg, 8.1 rpg) patrol the paint, though the former is plenty capable of stepping outside, hitting 38.6 percent of his three-pointers. UConn's efficiency numbers (30th in offense, 11th in defense, per KenPom) might be low for a two seed, but a down year in the Big East bears some blame, and the Huskies had big wins against Illinois and Florida, showing they can play with anyone. While their seven Quad 1 wins is fewer than expected for a high seed, their KenPom and Net ratings are on par with the team that cut down the nets in 2023. Don't sleep on another run.
