STORRS, Conn. - The TCU women's basketball team takes on the top-seeded UConn Huskies tonight at Gampel Pavilion in Storrs, Conn. Game time is set for 8:15 p.m. (CT)/9:15 p.m. (ET) and will be shown on ESPN. Sean McDonough and Doris Burke will call the action. The winner advances to the Sweet Sixteen in Dayton, Ohio.

Ninth-seeded TCU (20-13) is coming off of a 50-47 win over no. 8 seed Michigan State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

The Huskies (32-1) handily defeated 16-seed Boston University, 91-44, on Sunday. UConn has a 23-2 record when playing NCAA Tournament games at Gampel Pavilion, and has won 62 straight home contests, with the last loss coming on Feb. 2, 2002 in a 72-71 defeat by Tennessee.
