Creme gives the Huskies a first-round matchup in Storrs against No. 16 Alabama A&M or Chattanooga. The winner would go on to face No. 8 Illinois or No. 9 Syracuse. Creme’s projected top five seeds in Fort Worth Region 1 are UConn, LSU, Iowa, Kentucky, and West Virginia. It sets up a potential UConn versus LSU matchup in the Elite Eight.
