By beating Harvard in Saturday’s Ivy League Playoff, Dartmouth earned an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2000. The prize? A Sunday date with the University of Connecticut in Harry A. Gampel Pavilion, the Huskies’ home court. The Big Green was seeded No. 14 against the No. 3 Huskies in the Kansas City bracket, which also includes No. 1 Michigan State, and No. 2 Stanford.
UConn coach Geno Auriemma has won four Naismith National Coach of the Year awards in his 19 years with the Huskies, a run that has included five straight national championships.
