This Is UConn: The Story of College Basketball’s New Kings

Who needs blue blood, when your the New Blood. Total dominance. 6 titles since 1999.

I'm a UConn alum myself (1980). Back when I was there, men's soccer and women's field hockey were the marquee sports. Men's basketball was pretty good (they reached the Sweet Sixteen in 1976), but women's basketball was an afterthought. We had a team, but it was irrelevant. I had to say, I graduated from the University of Connecticut because if I said UConn, people would think I was referring to that Canadian territory next to Alaska. We've come a long way, baby!

There’s just something special about how the. UConn culture is all about unselfishness, teamwork, simply outworking and out hustling the other team, and when they go on.a run, and the other team calls a time out, and the UConn chant starts. It allways gives me goosebumps

UConn class of ‘84 here. Corny Thompson era. What I came here to say is that my father attended Ellsworth High School during the time that Hugh Greer was coach there, as well as boys gym teacher. Coach Greer treated everyone with grace, whether you were on the team, or just a kid in gym class. Very classy man.

UConn is the New England Patriots (6 Super Bowls since 2001) of college basketball.

As a UConn alum, graduating in 1966 (the Fred Shabel, Toby Kimball, Wes Bailosuknia, Tommy Penders era), I really appreciate your chronicle of UConn basketball.

Really enjoyed this! My only gripe would be I think Ollie deserves far more responsibility for what happened than is portrayed here, but this is 10/10 masterpiece. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.

Great video as a current UConn student and someone who grew up in CT.

Whoever did this it was an excellent job! I remember sneaking into the old field house in the 80's and sitting right behind the bench. We have come a long long way. I hate the term blue blood. We are a True Blood. The basketball capital of the world!!!

UConn has been dominating (on and off) men’s and women’s college basketball for the past 25 years. Give credit where credit is due!!

Let's not forget UCONN is only 50 miles down the road from Springfield where basketball was invented. Also not far from Yale where some say Football was invented, and Pittsfield Ma, which has a better claim to being the place where baseball was invented than anyone else.

UConn is a True Blood 💙

Hell of a job man you knocked this out the park!

UConn has been dominating men’s college basketball on and off since 1999. It’s time to give UConn’s men’s basketball their flowers.

Great vid bro

Front court will be tough with Mahaney, Diarra, & Mckneeley. I would assume would all start. Hopefully AK comes back after testing the waters to play the 4 with Samson & Tarris Reed fighting for the 5. Unless Hurley opts to continue to use Diarra off the bench and Jaylin Stewart makes some strides this summer. Regardless they will both will play significant minutes. Should leave us 9 deep with Solo Ball, Jayden Ross, & freshman Ahmad Nowell. Can't wait to see Mckneeley & Mahaney shine in Luke Murray's offense!

In the first photo of Dee Rowe, former UCONN Great Tony Hanson is on Dee's left. Saw him many times along with Al Weston, Lee Otis Wilson, Joey Whelton, John Thomas. Tremendous Teams.

What a phenomenal job you did with this video!

UConn’s first number 1 ranking was in ‘95, not ‘98. In fact, BOTH the men and women were ranked no. 1 at the same time that year (‘95). First time for any school ever.

Excellent video 👍👍👍👍👍👍
