Sanogo turned pro after the tournament, but Newton returned and is leading the team with 15.2 points per game.<\/p>\n<p>UConn is looking to become the first team to win back-to-back national champions since Florida did it in 2006 and 2007.<\/p>\n<p>The First Four games tip off March 19-20. The Round of 64 is March 21-22, the Round of 32 is set for March 23-24, the Sweet 16 is March 28-29, the Elite Eight is March 30-31, the Final Four takes place April 6 and the National Championship Game is April 8.<\/p>\n<p>The East Regional winner will play the West Regional winner and the South Regional winner will match up against the Midwest Regional winner in the Final Four.<\/p>\n<p>Read
