UConn and Northwestern meet in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday, March 24. The game will be live streamed on Sling (half off first month) and DirecTV Stream (free trial).

UConn (32-3) is trying to become the first repeat NCAA champion since Florida in 2007. First-team All-America guard Tristen Newton and the Huskies, after sailing past No. 16 seed Stetson 91-52 in Brooklyn, prepped Saturday for ninth-seeded Northwestern — a game scheduled to be broadcast on five Connecticut radio stations Sunday night from Greenwich to Norwich.

High-scoring guard Boo Buie and the Wildcats (22-11) outlasted No. 8 seed Florida Atlantic 77-65 in overtime Friday. And even though coach Chris Collins has called UConn a “juggernaut” multiple times this weekend, he and his players are sure they can compete with anybody after taking down a top-ranked Purdue team twice in the past two Big Ten seasons.

Northwestern has advanced a round in each of its three NCAA Tournament appearances (all since 2017), but the program has never reached the Sweet 16.

UConn center Donovan Clingan could pose a particular problem for Northwestern, which is minus two starters in junior guard Ty Berry and 7-foot senior center Matthew Nicholson following season-ending injuries.

When is UConn-Northwestern?

UConn and Northwestern play at 6:45 p.m. (7:45 p.m. ET) on Sunday, March 24.
