Three-peat victories have become rare in college basketball, with the last occurrence being the legendary UCLA Bruins, who dominated from 1967 to 1973 under John Wooden.
Since then, only a handful of teams, including Duke in 1991-1992 and Florida in 2006-2007, have managed to win back-to-back championships, alongside UConn’s recent triumphs.
Entering this season, UConn holds the No. 3 ranking and will begin their title defense on November 6 against Sacred Heart. A significant challenge awaits them on December 4 when they face No. 8 Baylor.
The Kansas Jayhawks, ranked No. 1 as the season commences, will look to capitalize on the talents of two-time second-team All-American Hunter Dickinson.
