The University of Connecticut men's basketball team won the NCAA championship Monday night, becoming the first team since 2007 to repeat as champions.
The Huskies defeated Purdue University 75-60 on Monday night, becoming the first team to win back-to-back championships since the University of Florida in 2006 and 2007, according to the NCAA.
It is the Huskies men's team's sixth championship overall, and they have won every time they made it to the finals, including in 1999, 2004, 2011, 2014 and 2023.
UConn also became just the eighth program in men's college basketball history to win consecutive titles.
