The Unstoppable UConn Huskies: Champions Once Again?
It’s conference tournament time, and in the Big East, the familiar question looms: can anyone stop UConn? Geno Auriemma’s Huskies have dominated the conference tournament since 2013, failing to leave the Mohegan Sun Arena without a title. As the 2025 tournament approaches, UConn is once again the heavy favorite. The Huskies have a remarkable record of 27-3 (17-0 in conference), and their prowess is evident in their relentless performances. Second-seeded Creighton, the only other nationally ranked team in the field, has already fallen to UConn twice in the regular season. Despite entering last year’s tournament as the top two seeds, the Huskies and Bluejays did not face each other due to Georgetown’s upset of Creighton in the semifinals. The Huskies then went on to dominate the final, winning by an average of 32.7 points in their three Big East tournament games. Will this year bring a tougher challenge for the reigning champions?
