CBB IN 60 PRESENTED BY EXPRESS: The Connecticut Huskies Are Back-To-Back NCAA Tournament Champions

For the second straight year, the Connecticut Huskies are National Champions. If you thought last year’s run was dominant, UConn somehow raised the bar even higher in 2024. 

It was a 75-60 title game victory over the Purdue Boilermakers, who really were Zach Edey or bust in this one. The big man dropped 37 points, but he didn’t get nearly enough help to pull off the upset. 

Let’s pause the clock for an EXPRESS timeout. Today, we are giving away a $100 gift card to EXPRESS, and all you have to do is answer this trivia question correctly to have a chance to win: the last two teams to go back-to-back, Florida and UConn, actually met in a Final Four at one point since 2000. When and where did that game take place? Reply with your answers, and resume the clock.

It was total domination from the Huskies throughout the tournament, I mean, there was really no point where they were in serious danger of losing. Truly remarkable. 

The All-Tournament team quite literally almost just… UConn. Tristan Newton, Stephon Castle, Donovan Clingan, Cam Spencer, and Zach Edey are on the squad. 

That’ll do it for CBB IN 60 presented by EXPRESS this season. Thank you all for tuning in, see you next year!
