The <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/stetson-hatters/">Stetson Hatters</a> are coming into the NCAA Tournament as a 16-seed where they’ll take on the <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/connecticut-huskies/">UConn Huskies</a> in their opening matchup. The Huskies enter March Madness as a one-seed and one of the favorites to win it all.



It was an excellent season for Stetson, with the Hatters going 22-12 this season. The Hatters then went on to win the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament to punch their ticket to the Big Dance. On the other side of the floor, UConn is the defending national champion that dominated opponents all season long. That culminated in winning both the Big East regular season and tournaments. 



16 seeds are rarely able to upset a top-seeded team. However, anything is possible in March and with that, here’s a look at the odds, win probability, final score predictions, and how to watch Stetson take on UConn.
