UConn is back and may be better than ever.
The Huskies took home their 12th national championship a year ago, sending Paige Bueckers to the WNBA in style after her illustrious college career. And even without the reigning Rookie of the Year, Geno Auriemma’s 2025–26 UConn team may be even better, with Sarah Strong emerging as a superstar alongside established guard Azzi Fudd, the Most Outstanding Player of last year’s Final Four.
