    Storrs, Conn. (AP) - Connecticut's quest for a seventh national championship will begin in Norfolk, Va.

    The unbeaten Huskies, the top seed in the NCAA tournament field announced Monday night, will play Southern University in the first round on Sunday, looking for their 73rd consecutive win.

    This will be the first time in the Huskies' 21 years as an NCAA tournament team that none of their tournament games will be played in Connecticut.

    The Huskies haven't opened the tournament outside the state since 2006. That year, they played the regional semifinals and
    finals in Bridgeport.

    The University of Hartford also is in the tournament. The Hawks, ranked No. 21 in the nation, will play LSU in a first-round game in Durham, N.C.
