UConn[/I][/B] [I]The Huskies are so intriguing. They rank top-10 in every mainstream predictive metric, and they've proven their ceiling is high by beating the likes of Alabama, Marquette, Iowa State and Creighton. They're 9-2 in their past 11 games. There's immediate urgency with this team because Dan Hurley is 0-2 in the NCAA Tournament at UConn. He'll get his first win in just a few days. Where to start with this roster? The Huskies have a first-round talent in sophomore shooting guard Jordan Hawkins. They've got a top-20 player in college hoops in center Adama Sanogo, and his backup, freshman Donovan Clingan, ranks already as one of the most promising bigs in the sport. Andre Jackson is an elite athlete -- his only issue is an inconsistent jump shot. If UConn plays defense aggressively and can get consistent play at point guard, it has Final Four potential. Watch Tristen Newton at the point. He has two triple-doubles, the only UConn player to ever do that in a single season.[/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/2023-ncaa-tournament-bracket-ranking-every-team-playing-in-march-madness-from-no-1-to-68/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
