Congrats to the UConn Men! What a run!

16 Banners will be hanging in Gampel.

The men played well and bring back another NC to UConn. Good job!

Newton was big-time!

Final championhip game:
UConn men 5-0
UConn women 11-1

16-1? Yikes!

I wouldve liked another dual championship with the women but the men winning is the greatest consolation I could ask for. UCONN is still basketball capital of the world.

I said way back in the middle of summer that Uconn would win the national championship. Of course i was talking about the girls.

Yeah so close to a third dual, but the women will go get #12 next year.

UConn men's bball program is firmly among the elite. Now tied for 4th on all-time most national championships:

UCLA - 11
Kentucky - 8
UNC - 6
UConn - 5
Indiana - 5

 

[and one]

To complete that list... Duke - 5

There’s always next year. 2004, 2014 … 2024 looks pretty good to me.

I am a fan of the women's team, but the men winning the NC makes me feel much better, especially since I know that my girls are all friends with the guys.

One of the things I love about the women's team are the bench reactions. Women, take note of Donovan Clingan, the big man has next level skills in that area...so infectious.

 

[hoopsfan22]

So UConn men's and women's basketball has won 16 of the last 56 national championships if my math is right.

I LOVE seeing the men successful. As they say, everyone eats!! So happy to get #5 and with such a dominant performance. Fully cemented our blue blood status.

I’m gonna enjoy the off season.

I guess I can live with one BB championship this year! Congratulations Husky men! You’re well deserving of this grand stage!!

 

[darrell]

I hope a certain group of women are inspired.

I know a chair that's fixin' to get danced on.

I'm so happy, UConn wins a natty. It's all going up in the same rafters. I cooked a nice steak with red wine and im enjoying all of this!

UConn Women and Men both starting preseason 23/24 as #1!

 

[CTtoSanDiego]

while I would have chosen a women's NC over a men's, I would have chosen a men's NC over a 15 consecutive FF for the women. So I'm a very happy UConn alum!

 

[ballerfan]

A little sloppy but so dominant that it didn’t matter. Basketball capital of the world.

 

[Blakeon18]

Jaml is right-on about Clingan's bench attitude. When he lifted Coach Hurley way up,...just
loved it. An off-season of work for him might well lead to something special come November...
on the court.

 

[Topdawg]

We go into the off season with both the men’s and women’s teams ranked #1 in their respective pre-season polls. Looking forward to an exciting year ahead! Yes, 2024, every 10 years we win both championships in the same year!

Would you expect something different in the basketball capital of the world?

 

[veryolddog]

This championship is very rewarding for me to see. I remember the days as a student when they only played teams from the New England Universities and a few other schools. For us attending those games in a very old Field House, even those games were thrilling. Now, with pride, it is nice to see UConn as one of the Premier Mens and Womens basketball programs in the US. I am over 80. I am glad that I got to see this one more time.

 

[Cornell Lt]

Would it be a record that one school has made combined (men's & women's) 16 consecutive Final 4's . I like the sound of that

 

[meyers7]

Yeah so close to a third dual, but the women will go get #12 next year.

I believe duals only come in years ending in 4. Like 2004, 2014, .........2024?
