they played so well from start to finish i love how coach hurley talks about his team's confidence it's so true they faced some tough losses during the regular season but they still managed to play at an elite level i'm hyped for adama sanogo and andre jackson they're such key players for the team uconn's history is insane they've won six ncaa titles now which puts them in this exclusive group with some of the greatest teams in college basketball
they've been dominating for like forever lol what's the big deal? it's just basketball. some people make it sound like they're curing cancer or something 
and don't even get me started on coach hurley being all proud of his team 
newsflash, dude, you're the one who's supposed to be coaching them, not giving interviews about how great your leadership is 
. They're just using the same old template from like 2015 and expecting everyone to be impressed 
? It's like they're stuck in the past and can't see how much more modern and sleek a new design would look 
.
. dan hurley must be doing somethin right as a coach lol. and i love how the team came together to support each other, it's so beautiful to see

! uconn's got another title under their belt now and i couldn't be more hyped 
. 6 titles and counting, let's see what the future holds for these huskies 
. Reminds me of the old days when UConn used to dominate in a similar way back in the early 2000s. Those teams under Jim Calhoun were just on another level. Anyway, it's awesome to see UConn bouncing back after some ups and downs this season. Tristen Newton and Adama Sanogo are straight fire 
, and I love how Coach Hurley emphasizes teamwork over individual talent. It's a classic college basketball story we all know and love 
.
- they led the team to victory with some amazing plays 
! Coach Hurley is all about building that confidence 
, and it paid off big time 
! UConn's got that championship swagger 
!
- what a family reunion celebration party 
! The Huskies are on fire 
they really deserve this title after working so hard all season long 
. I love how Coach Dan Hurley talked about his team's confidence, that's for real 
.
