Since 1999 UConn’s men’s basketball team has won six national championships.
In the past two years it has won two national championships.
In the past two months its coach has turned down the Kentucky Wildcats and the Los Angeles Lakers.
Basketball Capital of the World.
No jokes: I’ve been watching UConn obsessively since birth. I’m a third generation UConn graduate. My family has been obsessed with this team for literally 100 years. This is the best UConn team of all time. Three games to get it done but there has never been something like this.
From Fox Sports Research:
-15 of the last 22 national champions (since 2001) were no. 1 seeds
- Two teams were no. 2 seeds (2016 Villanova, 2004 UConn)
- Three teams were no. 3 seeds (2011 UConn, 2006 Florida, 2003 Syracuse)
- One team was a no. 4 seed (2023 UConn)
- One team was a no. 7 seed (2014 UConn)
The best team in the country looked like the best team in the country today --- WITHOUT Alex Karaban.
There are NO debates.
It's UConn.
And then EVERYONE else.
