The University of Connecticut has, with few disagreeing, the most impressive basketball tradition in the country when men’s and women’s hoops are combined. Only seven men’s programs have won four or more national titles, and UConn is one of those with four. Meanwhile, just two women’s programs have that many titles; UConn has 11 while Tennessee has claimed eight. (UT has yet to win a national championship on the men’s side.)

As a result, both of UConn’s basketball teams receive widespread attention. With that said, unsurprisingly, that interest is most significant within the borders of the Constitution State.

For both squads, non-conference games played away from home are broadcast by various networks, including ABC, ESPN, and ESPN2.

UConn Huskies Basketball

Competitive intercollegiate basketball games have been played on the University of Connecticut campus since 1901, when the school was known as Connecticut Agricultural College, and the athletics teams that played here were named the Aggies. The men’s first game was that year while the women’s squad headed out on the hardwood for the initial time in 1902.

As is the case most years, both the men’s and women’s teams are in the top 25 rankings.

Rivalries

UConn has a number of rivalries with most of them specific to a sport.

The primary exception to that is the one with Syracuse, a multi-sport rivalry that dates to their shared time in the Big East from 1979-2013. A couple of notable basketball meetings were a six-overtime affair at the Big East Men’s Tournament in 2009, which Syracuse won by a 127-117 score, and a national championship game matchup in women’s hoops in 2016, which UConn won with ease, 82-51. However, matchups are rarer now, after Syracuse left for the ACC in 2013.

Another significant rivalry for the men’s team is with Georgetown. (Georgetown has not really been competitive in women’s basketball.)

Meanwhile, one of the greatest rivalries in college sports as a whole is UConn’s women’s basketball rivalry with Tennessee. They met numerous times from 1995-2007 before picking it back up in 2020. Amongst those matchups were seven NCAA Tournament showdowns and four title game meetings.

UConn’s women’s team also has heated, quality rivalries with Notre Dame and Rutgers although it does not play the Scarlet Knights regularly anymore, ever since an NCAA Tournament meeting in 2015 a year after Rutgers left for the Big Ten.

Facilities

UConn’s basketball teams are the exception to the general rule that teams have one main home venue. Instead, they split their home games between two arenas: the 9,882-seat Harry A. Gampel Pavilion on campus and the 16,294-seat XL Center, which is located in downtown Hartford 25 miles away. Both squads play roughly half of their home games at one of those facilities and the other half at the other.

UConn Men’s Basketball

UConn’s men’s basketball team’s high-water mark came in 1998-99, 2003-04, 2010-11, and 2013-14, the seasons when it claimed the national championship. The Huskies also reached the Final Four in 2009.

The Huskies are currently coached by Dan Hurley. He’s in his fifth season there. His record in the first four seasons was 73-47 (61%). But the team is doing even better this season.

Its 2022-23 squad has been led by Adama Sanogo, Jordan Hawkins, Tristen Newton, Alex Karaban, Andre Jackson Jr, and Donovan Clingan. It reached as high as No 2 nationally before starting to struggle. Its troubles started with a road loss to 22nd-ranked Xavier on New Year’s Eve.

UConn Women’s Basketball

The women’s basketball program at UConn is unquestionably the elite in this sport. Its 11 national titles are comfortably ahead of Tennessee’s eight. (The Lady Vols have the second-highest total.)

UConn’s titles were won in 1994-95, 1999-2000, 2001-02, 2002-03, 2003-04, 2008-09, 2009-10, and four straight from 2012-13 to 2015-16.

The Huskies also made the Women’s Final Four 11 other times. In fact, the program enters the 2022-23 campaign with a streak of 14 straight Final Four appearances.

Geno Auriemma has been head coach of the Huskies since 1985. Through last year, the team under his coaching has a record of 1149-150 — an almost unbelievable 88% winning percentage.

Leading the way with aspirations of 15 in a row are Aaliyah Edwards, Lou Sopez Senechal, Aubrey Griffin, Nika Muhl, Dorka Juhasz, and Azzi Fudd.
