Connecticut’s So Impressive Repeat Titles Notes

It is truly an incredible feat, that which Connecticut just achieved, as they won back to back NCAA crowns, winning the required dozen games all by “enough” points–I believe by 10 or more in all those games.

Danny Hurley coaching repeat titles in what are “3” and “4” years evokes memories of brother Bob Hurley being a key player on repeat Duke title teams in “1” and “2” years (’91 and ’92).

Connecticut sans a crown until they upset Duke, which had 2 at that point, in ’99 now passes Duke into a tie with North Carolina for third place in title wins with 6.

U.C.L.A. leads with 11 crowns, Kentucky has 8.

Finally it is the third straight “4” year crown for Connecticut as they won the title in both ’04 and ’14 and it is with three different coaches, Jim Calhoun then Kevin Ollie and now Hurley.

Quite an achievement for Connecticut!!
