By Marc Lawrence, PlaybookSports.com — It was debatable heading into the Final Four. It’s undeniable now. Connecticut has many national championships as Duke. And Indiana. They have more than Kansas, Villanova, and Louisville.
Per CBS Sports, the Huskies are the fifth team to win all of their Tournament games by at least 13 points. The last team to do it was Isiah Thomas-led Indiana in 1981. Overall, the Huskies’ +120 Tournament point differential is fourth all-time.
UConn is the seventh team to win it all after starting the season unranked and the first since the Huskies did it in 2011.
Only UCLA (11), Kentucky (eight) and North Carolina (six) have more titles than the Huskies’ five. Moreover, UConn is a perfect 5-0 in title games, the most wins without a loss of any program.
