Connecticut played its first organized basketball game on February 8, 1901, a 17-12 win against Willimantic High School. The 'Huskies' name was adopted in 1934 via student poll, possibly a play on the Yukon/UConn homophone. UConn has won six NCAA championships — more than any school since the tournament expanded to 64 teams — and is the only university whose men's and women's basketball teams have both won national titles in the same year. Under Dan Hurley, UConn won back-to-back championships in 2023 and 2024, going undefeated in tournament play by double digits both years.
Adopted in 1934 via student poll after the school's name changed from Connecticut Agricultural College; the Yukon/UConn homophone may have influenced the choice
