The title says it all. The UConn Huskies blew through each of their opponents in this year tournament. The Championship game ending 76-59 and it wasn’t even that close. They now have 5 titles in the last 25 years, 2 more than blue blood programs North Carolina and Duke.
I wouldn’t call UConn a blue blood just because of their recent run of success. They are definitely the top of the New Blood programs, with Villanova joining them at the top.
College basketball is changing with the NIL and the transfer portal. Will there be more New Bloods to come after the old Blue Bloods? I can’t wait to tip off next year and the greatest postseason in sports.
