The 2024–25 UConn women’s basketball team reclaimed its place atop the sport, capturing the program’s 12th national championship under Hall of Fame head coach Geno Auriemma. In his 40th season, Auriemma guided the Huskies to a 37–3 record, a Big East title and their first national crown since 2016.
