The UConn Huskies men's basketball program is the NCAA Division I men's college basketball team of the University of Connecticut in Storrs, Connecticut. They currently play in the Big East Conference and are coached by Dan Hurley. With six national championships and 45 conference titles, the program is considered one of the blue bloods of college basketball.[2][3][4]
UConn has won six NCAA tournament championships (1999, 2004, 2011, 2014, 2023 and 2024), which puts the program in a tie for third-most all time and is the most of any program since the tournament expanded to 64 teams. The Huskies have won eight Big East tournament championships (tied for most all time) and 11 Big East regular season championships (most all time). UConn has 36 NCAA tournament appearances (tied for 13th-most all time) and has played in seven NCAA Final Fours (10th-most all time), 13 NCAA Elite Eights (11th-most all time) and 19 NCAA Sweet Sixteens (tied for 11th-most all time). UConn won the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) championship in 1988 and the NIT third-place game in 1997, with 13 NIT appearances in total. The Huskies also have one American Athletic Conference tournament championship and two ECAC New England regional tournament championships.
From the Huskies' first game in 1900–01 season to the end of the 2023–24 season, the program has amassed 1,805 wins and compiled a .648 winning percentage, both top 25 in NCAA Division I history.[5] Initially a New England regional powerhouse, UConn won multiple conference championships in the 1920s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, including a run of 10-straight Yankee Conference championships from 1951 to 1960.[6] The Huskies appeared in the NCAA tournament 11 times between 1939 and 1970 — second-most of any school in the tournament's early era — reaching their first Sweet Sixteen in 1956 and first Elite Eight in 1964.[7] The program began its emergence as a national powerhouse after becoming a charter member of the newly formed Big East Conference in 1979, building steadily from its first national postseason championship in the NIT in 1988 to its first NCAA championship in 1999.[8][9]
Since 1999, the Huskies have won six national championships in a span of 25 years, a run only rivaled by UCLA under John Wooden.[10] In 2024, UConn became the eighth school in NCAA Division I history to win back-to-back national championships, and the first to do so in 17 years.[11] After the 2023–24 season, Fox Sports dubbed the Huskies' sustained success "the greatest run of the 21st century" and recognized UConn as "one of the greatest programs in the history of college basketball."[12]
