For the UConn women’s basketball program, it was business as usual. 
 
A UConn home game is a spectacle, like the Colosseum in Rome—a battle against the odds. They have a multimillion-dollar coaching staff (two former Huskies), a marching band, Jonathan the Husky, an army of workers on the payroll, and a fan base across the country who watch on television.

​It’s noon in October at Yale University, and the bright colored leaves and warm sunlight complement the Payne Whitney Gymnasium architecture: It’s depicting New England better than any tourism brochure could.

​NBA Hall of Famer Larry Bird once said, “Once you are labeled the best, you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around. If I don't keep changing, I'm history.”

​When the dust cleared in April 2025, the UConn women’s basketball program ended a Dust Bowl-like drought—they won their first championship in nine years, beating rival South Carolina, 82-59. 
 
UConn was back at the top of college basketball, holding its 12th national title—to the annoyance of the programs chasing the Huskies.
