UConn Reveals 'Back-to-Back' Rings After 2024 NCAA MCBB Championship in Photos, Video

UConn became the first back-to-back national champions since 2007 last season when they downed Purdue in the national championship game, and now they have rings to honor the monumental feat.

On Thursday, UConn revealed its "back-to-back" national championship rings.

The rings feature six stones to represent the Huskies' six national championships along with the Big East trophies, representing their regular season and conference tournament titles, the New York skyline, where the Big East tournament is played, and their 21 conference wins.

The underside of the ring features the scores from their dominant NCAA tournament run. On the side, the rings have "BK-BOS-PHX," marking their journey to the championship through Brooklyn, Boston and Phoenix. The Huskies' 37-3 record is engraved on the same side.

The Huskies dominated on their way to a national championship with a total margin of victory of 140 points. They downed the No. 1-seeded Boilermakers 75-60 in the national title game.

The last team to win back-to-back championships was Billy Donovan's Florida in 2006 and 2007, but now Dan Hurley and UConn are chasing more history as they look to three-peat.

No team has won three consecutive championships since UCLA led by the legendary John Wooden did it in the 1960s and 1970s. While it seems like an impossible achievement, Hurley and the Huskies seem capable.
