1 seed Monday in the NCAA Tournament for a 13th consecutive year, but this one feels a little different. Samuelson is expected to return for the NCAA Tournament, but coach Geno Auriemma said he understands his team is considered vulnerable. Even without Samuelson they cruised through the AAC Tournament, winning their three games by an average of 28 points. The UConn bench is averaging just 10.7 points and the Huskies trailed in both of their final regular-season games by double-digits before rallying to win. The Huskies played five ranked teams this season, winning three games, and dominated in the weaker American Athletic Conference.
