[UConNick]

Last I recall this was true...

When was the last time UConn went a full game without hitting a three-pointer?

Spoiler

February 2, 2009.

What really makes this notable is the game itself. Surely UConn lost, and probably pretty badly, if they couldn't hit a single triple?

Nope, absolutely dominated no. 5 Louisville, who would be the number one overall seed in the tourney that year, at Freedom Hall. 68-51 final, Thabeet and Adrien just bodied them. As far as regular season wins go, that one is at the very top for me.

Pretty likely this stands as the last three-less game for as long as Hurley is our coach.

[78AlwaysHappy]

Which teams have won the national championship in their first ever trip to the Final Four?

A related question would be “Which teams have NOT won a national championship in their first ever trip to the Final Four?”

That list would include Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina, UCLA. The “Blue Bloods“.
