I want Saturday now! It's LIT!! Let's GO!!!

Conference or NCAA, it doesn’t matter. No program seems to revel in conference tournament action and March Madness like the Huskies.

Remember, the Huskies were the ninth seed in the Big East Tournament in 2011, won five games in five nights for the title and then won six more to capture the NCAA championship.

Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina and Kansas stand as college basketball’s elite, and they’ve earned that designation with their consistent excellence over the last several decades.

But since 1999, when Connecticut won its first national championship, no program has won more than the Huskies’ four.

In that time, Duke owns three titles, North Carolina and Florida two and no other program more than one. In NCAA Tournament history, no program has a better all-time Final Four winning percentage than UConn’s .889 (8-1).
