March Madness will continue on Friday with 16 more first-round games on the NCAA Tournament schedule.
UConn, the top overall seed in the bracket, will start its journey toward another national championship when it meets No. 16 Stetson at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. The Huskies rolled to the title last year, winning each tournament game by double-digits, so the Hatters have a tall task in front of them.
