ESPN ranks this 2024 team as the 29th best champion.

Where does 2024 UConn rank among all 85 men's national champions?

From Wooden's Bruins to Hurley's Huskies, we compare every single NCAA title winner since 1939 -- including newly crowned 2024 champion UConn.

There aren't 28 better champions than this 2023-24 UConn team, point blank.

To quote a great person, "Yeah, no."

If we were televised by ESPN we would be top ten .

Lol this is an absolute joke. Ask Jwill, bills, Seth, Jay wright what they think.

This team is so different than other great teams bc the offense and defense are elite. We shoot lousy and we win by 30.

So, just outside the Top 3rd.

And access to ESPN Insiders like John Gassawy comes at only $10.99/month.

I think we're better off with him locked inside.

Always remember the game folks, the more outlandish....the more interactions. This guy is also an Illini fan. Sorry 'bout that, bud.

 

[Inyatkin]

I saw people last night trying to talk about past teams with NBA greats. There's no Jordan and James Worthy on this team, basically.

Which, fine. But in this era those guys are already in the pros. You have to look at how a team did in context with the competition it faced, and this team blew everyone out of the water.

[bendm]

are they referring to this team? the team that just set the record for the greatest point differential in a single tournament? a record that will never be broken again?

 

[UC0NN]

A team that has no weaknesses as per the experts. How do you beat Uconn in nonconference games?

You hope Clingan gets in foul trouble. And you hope they go cold from 3 on good/decent looks.

This team has 99 ways to beat you.

 

[auror]

There's a lot of UCLAs and Bill Russell San Francisco teams ahead, which, fine. Ewing Georgetown teams. Undefeated Indiana. 90 UNLV. Sure.

There's a premium on losses, so '99 UConn is ranked better at 20th.

I don't see how we're below 2018 Villanova though. Less losses, higher KenPom adjEM, bigger tournament scoring margin.

 

[UCFBfan]

ESPN talking heads have been gushing over us all day so forget this guy. Stephen A, who I can't stand, called us the Michael Jordan of college basketball. I mean, 29th overall and getting that type of praise? I'll tell this author where he can shove his article.

They should be embarrassed, but they never are.

These lists make no sense
Comparing eras -foolish
What you can say by both the eyeball
Test and the statistics to the past two seasons
Have been the
Most dominant tournaments in the past 40
Years

I don't have access to this article but this UConn team is better than 1990 UNLV and '99 UConn.

 

[AdamaNation]

If we were televised by ESPN we would be top ten .

That’s it. Someone asked why there’s a rift with UConn and ESPN.

 

[phillionaire]

You know what they call the 29th best champion? Champion.

 

[nomar]

WTF?

140 points.

 

[Tenspro2002]

I have no idea how you rank this team against 1959 San Francisco or whoever, but if you're talking the last 45 years, we should be in the top 5.

 

[HailUConn]

The joke of day. This team literally just broke or wrote 29+ NCAA records in its history book. This team is right there with 2012 Kentucky or 2008 Villanova team

 

[uconnfan68]

I think much of the rankings are skewed by professional careers of some of the players. I watched many of those games, and we’re not #29.

 

[NEforceUConn]

$1 says if Purdue won ESPN would have ranked them 10th.

 

[HooperScooper]

Just one person's opinion. I was just watching Around the Horn on ESPN and all 4 media guests said this team was one of the most dominant. Who cares what John Gasaway thinks.

 

[JCisthegoat]

This is basically ranked by how many games each champion lost. Lazy stuff

 

[JB75]

I mean I cud see maybe the ucla teams , the Ewing gtown teams or the Kentucky 96 team or 90 unlv but that it At the very very least, they are top 10
