It's UConn's world, and everyone else is living in it. The Huskies men's college
basketball team won its sixth national championship in program history with a 75-60 victory over Purdue on Monday. Head coach Dan Hurley summed things up after the win by saying, "for the last 25, 30 years, UConn's been running college basketball." "We've been running college basketball for the past 30 years" 👀Dan Hurley is HYPED 🔥 pic.twitter.com/2hm6YAH82I It's hard to argue with him. On one side is the UConn women's team, which has long been the gold standard of the sport. Geno Auriemma's program has won a stunning 11 national championships since the 1994-95 campaign. There was a time when women's college basketball felt like UConn against the field, and the Huskies so often lived up to the hype. Then there is the men's team, which became the first men's program to win back-to-back titles since
Florida did so in 2006 and 2007. It has won six championships since the 1998-99 campaign with head coach Jim Calhoun taking home three, Kevin Ollie taking home one and Hurley now winning two. There will surely be talks of dynasty going into the 2024-25 campaign, and UConn has consistently shown it can live up to such expectations on both the men's and the women's side. Which is why it has run the sport for so long.
