Ollie was the recruiter on those players and it's not like there were a bunch of superstars on that team. One marginal NBA guy and that's it, and he won a tournament beating 5 former national coach of the year winners (and Fred Hoiberg). Ollie went to shit after his marriage fell apart, but he absolutely fucking killed it that year.
Listen broham, I've been a fan since 89 and we didn't start having sub .500 seasons until Ollie was coaching and we went to that stupid conference that almost finished us
It's 5 in 25 years, they are the most dominant program in modern college hoops, great to see them back in the Big East. And congrats to UConn and all of their players and coaches.
I am a Uconn fan since like 94. The people who messed this up was the seeders. Uconn started something like 15-0 and beat everyone of those teams by more than ten including Alabama. They were ranked 1 or 2 in the nation and then Big East play started and it took Uconn about 10 games to adjust and then ended with an 11 or 12 game winning streak before losing to the champion of the big east tournament Marquette by 2. No way should they have been a 4 seed. Probably should have been a 2 but that wouldn't have mattered because Uconn was the best team in the NCAA this year. I'm just glad they played like they can.
uconn has had this run because connecticut is basketball country. sure we might not sellout every game but everyone loves them here. we also have no big pro teams so nothing to take away from the huskies attention. also nothing is around campus. just farms. it’s attractive because players are locked in on basketball on campus. our main power is recruiting. hurley and calhoun were, ollie wasn’t and that’s why we fell offa the map. but we back!
Since the 1990's, UConns been the most successful college basketball program in the nation. taking into account both the Men's and Women's programs and its not even close
Storrs is the basketball capital of the world. It's a special place. You have to experience what it is all about to understand. Outside of Storrs people really don't think much of it....but these guys always get the right players and are in a perfect area geographically. Basketball in high school is big in NY, NJ, that Philadephia area of PA and Mass. You are going to get ballers there. They have them in spades....but Storrs there is nothing to do there but basketball. So, you have the best of both worlds. Your close to home where things are happening and you can focus on your craft in Storrs.
The coaching culture at UConn is important. Dan Hurley is a younger coach but he's been getting mentorship from HOF coaches Jim Calhoun and Geno Auriemma since he's been there. Playing in the Big East helps too. Tough conferences are good for prepping for the tournament and Villanova absolutely benefited from that in their last Final Four/Championship runs.
I became a UConn fan back in 2009, in my 20's. Strangely it was a loss that made me a fan. Syracuse vs UConn in the big East tourney was awesome. Since that game the 2011 title run with Kemba is still my favorite. I've seen them win now 3 titles in my Fandom 😎 on the flip side my childhood team of choice the Cleveland Indians have went to and lost 3 world series, 2 of them in game 7 extra innings heartbreakers😢
UConn was never truly a #4 seed. They were only a #4 seed because they went through a stretch in conference play where they were losing a lot of games, so how good they really were got lost in the mix. Their team were built for the tournament. I wasn't surpirsed by them winning because I picked them winning in one of my brackets.
A lot of these kids come from NYC. It's an NYC, chip-on-the-shoulder, Rucker Park attitude. There's always someone better than you so you better outwork them.
UCONN deserves it I seen people talking about how they had a easy run when they beat 2 top 5 teams from the tournament and smacked Miami two days before
How does uconn keep doing this is the wrong question really. The right question is how many more could there have been? If Calhoun doesn’t retire under a cloud of NCAA sanctions. If uconn never moved to the AAC (which killed recruiting). If Ollie had the same passion and work ethic Calhoun did. The 2014 win still had Calhoun holdovers on the roster.
Hopefully this will wake up coaches like Cal, Self, etc that they need to have their teams ready to play, kids are kids, yea, you have talent differences(slight), bigger teams(can be negated by good coaches), but in the end you have 18 to 23 year olds that are very good, you throw in a coach that relies on 110% coaching effort, compared coaches that are, maybe, 50% relying on talent, 50% coaching, in Cal's case this year, i don't know if he thought he had a 2012 type team again but he was more like 70 - 30, 30% being the coacing. And many of the blue bloods frankly got outcoached, then you have a UCONN that has great 4 and 5 star players and a good coach, you get what we got, a lopsided champ game and a wide open easy win for UConn
Every single title UCONN has won, they were placed in the West Regional. Also 3 of their 5 championships were won in the state of Texas. Keep UCONN out of the West Region 😂
@@michaelthomas5140 That's why Pat Summitt's Lady Vols quit playing Geno's UConn annual game because ESPN (headquarters) helped him recruit several Lady Huskies players!
Imma be honest the women's tournament is way better. But angel Reese and her cousin Jordan Hawkins both won the Natty. But angel Reese has been trending once again today. The women's tournament stole the show this year
its coz of area living ..born in 1955 raised there till 2005 when built own house in hawaii....y area u ask? its smack between boston and new york...no pro teams of own...closes national attention went to Yale football...likes of Calvin Hill..Grants Dad....but middle and north east where storrs is are all lunch pail people fan base..women first broke thru with Lobo in early 90s...men follow 1999...twice both teams won 2004 and 2014....no other college every get both teams in final ANY year....great coaching better support....GO HUSKIES
Let me rephrase. You work and content is excellent. The fact that you said the audience didn't miss anything I strongly disagree with. It was a old school big east smash in the mouth game. I enjoy your channel. So let me rephrase my statement.
I will say this it’s just like Arkansas football team this past 2022 season to where Arkansas at the beginning of this 2022 football season had a hot start against a couple of games till they got to like Alabama with Bryce Younge who had a concussion but Beated Arkansas by like 60 points in football and then all the sudden Arkansas football ends up winning most of the rest of there football games this past 2022 season the reason why I compared Arkansas football team to UConn basketball sorta
It seems like the Southeast dominates college football and the Southeast/East-coast dominates college basketball. It’s been 26 years since a team from the western part of the U.S. has won an NCAA basketball championship.
If you watched that game and thought the BB skills that UConn was performing was boring you aren’t a BB fan… you are anti UConn. As is the entire NCAA! THE ONLY UNIVERSITY WITH 25 NATIONAL SPORTS TITLES THAT NO P5 LEAGUE WANTS BC THEY ARE SO DOMINANT!!! Even in FB nobody wants to play bc it’s a lose lose scenario! If they win ; they were supposed to and if they lose they lost to a team without a league. Even ESPN is anti UConn! 6 New England states and not one Public representative university in the P5… Their bias is showing.

It’s also insane they’ve won 3 titles since 2011 with 3 DIFFERENT COACHES!!! That’s what is really insane to think about
Ollie won with calhouns players

One marginal NBA guy and that's it, and he won a tournament beating 5 former national coach of the year winners (and Fred Hoiberg). Ollie went to shit after his marriage fell apart, but he absolutely fucking killed it that year.
Again he won with calhouns guys
UConn - most elite blue blood in past 30 years.
As a UConn fan since 2000 I can honestly say we have our bad seasons but every few years through good coaching and recruiting we make a phenomenal run
Listen broham, I've been a fan since 89 and we didn't start having sub .500 seasons until Ollie was coaching and we went to that stupid conference that almost finished us

People separate UConn men's success from the women's and this couldn't be further from the truth.

They play in the big east conference that is the most competitive conference by far

Playing in the Big East helps too. Tough conferences are good for prepping for the tournament and Villanova absolutely benefited from that in their last Final Four/Championship runs.
Not to mention his hall of fame dad.
I care. I love college basketball and I'm a diehard UCONN fan. Both men and women.
Same from hogs fans
Uconn underrated

Those big east tourneys were amazing!!!!
The "mighty blue bloods" are history.
As a Uconn fan idc how it happened I'm just happy
We finally back to glory lfg huskies I been a fan since I became a ray allen fan when he played for Seattle
I think if we can have consistency with Hurley as HC, UCONN will be back in the Final Four in way less than 10 years.
Next year we'll be back there
Agreed. Extend him. Give him a raise. Do what you need to do. Recruiting was great before the championship and everything is trending up now.
This is guy didn’t know what he was talking about 2011,2014,2023.. that’s 3 in 12 years!! This 10 year BS
UConn was never truly a #4 seed. They were only a #4 seed because they went through a stretch in conference play where they were losing a lot of games, so how good they really were got lost in the mix.

When it’s not my team I don’t care but since I love UCONN I am thrilled!
no one cares abt the championship because we aren’t a power 5 football conference

yeah I do I'm from Connecticut
UCONN.........Basketball Capital of The World
UConn basketball has the most loyal fan base in the country - without any pro teams in the state our focus is on Husky domination & excellence!
Every single title UCONN has won, they were placed in the West Regional. Also 3 of their 5 championships were won in the state of Texas. Keep UCONN out of the West Region 😂
Actually it's been 4 of the 5. Only the first one was in St Petersburg Florida. The other 4 were: Houston twice, Dallas, and San Antonio lol
Uconn won me $540. I wasn't sleeping on them like everyone else.
The Connecticut Huskies are the 🐐 of College Basketball END OF STORY!! KEEP the blue bloods logo who cares, we keep stacking trophies 🏆
Here's how... ESPN!
Seems like it 😂😂 Hometown favorites!

Matt is on time !!
Womens tournament > Mens
I can’t even lie every game was intriguing
Nobody cares because their haters or doubters. To the people here in CT we care immensely and LOVE our men’s/women’s college teams #GoHuskies
I can make a drinking game out of how many times you ask "how do they do this?"
it was a great game. they have won 5 in 25 years you should do more videos about non sports stuff
There were many years of average football after Bear Bryant, before Saban showed up.
More people will tune into the NFL draft than the entire sweet 16. 😂
Great video y’all Casual and
Blue hood biased got to change just casual bum don’t know what f- ing want good game or big name team but good videos
Imma be honest the women's tournament is way better. But angel Reese and her cousin Jordan Hawkins both won the Natty. But angel Reese has been trending once again today. The women's tournament stole the show this year
Matt 1999 1st title 2001 2nd and total of 5 with 2023 that is 24 years 5 titles so its 2 titles each 10 years not 1 per 10
5 titles since 99 does not equal to one Championship every 10 years it's more like 1 chip every 6 years
Bro. Yes there last championship was won 9 years ago before that 2 years difference. We have 5 championships in the past 25 years
Yes I care
Same f this casual

Hell nah. Uconn won a chip nothing like Arkansas football
All about the path
It seems like the Southeast dominates college football and the Southeast/East-coast dominates college basketball. It’s been 26 years since a team from the western part of the U.S. has won an NCAA basketball championship.
Oh, and dude you keep saying the ratings were low. Ummm 14.6 Million whatched the Natty. That's not low!
It's more than any of the NBA finals games got.

If you watched that game and thought the BB skills that UConn was performing was boring you aren’t a BB fan… you are anti UConn. As is the entire NCAA!

If I'm being honest the Women's tournament was better than this 💀
More men’s college basketball news from here on out please!
Their that damn good
Get over it
Sad everyone thinks their kid is a superstar.
Your math is way off man. 5 since 1999 not 1975.
I was looking at the women's tournament I totally forgot about the man tournament 😂😂😂😂
So your team mf casual
So disrespectful
Caleb line was not North Carolina’s best player
this was a very boring national championship
I knew If San Diego state was in it it would be
So who’s your team casual mf
Definitely one of the most boring championship games of all time.
Dominance can be boring like championship division 1 NCAA Blue Blood basketball 🏀. UCONN focuses on titles and not necessarily entertaining haters.
Hey is what is casual
Who is this guy😂
Yeah I don’t really care about them winning I’d rather focus on nba playoffs and nfl draft
😂
wendell green jr. won't make the nba draft lmao. he's so bad.
and people wont care again 😂
Nice try casual
No one cares 😂
Who cares that a hurricane doesn't care! 🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣
I can't stand UCONN
Then sit down and watch greatness
