What channel is UConn vs. Syracuse on today? Time, TV schedule, live stream to watch NCAA women's game

After the expected opening-round rout, UConn's national title defense begins in earnest Monday with an NCAA tournament second-round game against Syracuse. 

While the top-seeded Huskies (35-0) will be heavily favored, the Orange (24-8) have enjoyed a bounceback year and withstood 37 points from Iowa State star Audi Crooks in their first-round triumph. 

Finding a solution to UConn, though, is a much more complicated task. The Huskies have won 51 consecutive games and are loaded with star power, none bigger than Sarah Strong (18.4 points, 7.5 rebounds per game) and Azzi Fudd (17.4 ppg). 

It's not just those two, however. A pair of UConn starters, Ashlynn Shade and KK Arnold, were in the lineup when the Huskies defeated Syracuse in the second round two years ago, Shade scoring 19 and Arnold 10 in that matchup. 

Who will play the starring roles Monday? Here's how to tune in and watch.
