Geno Auriemma’s tenure at UConn is one of the greatest in coaching history, in any sport at any level. Entering his 40th season at the helm of the Huskies, Auriemma had already compiled one of the all-time coaching resumes, but it had been eight years since his last national championship in 2016 and the depth of women’s college basketball has never been better.
That championship drought came to an end on Sunday as the Huskies lifted the national championship trophy for the 12th time under Auriemma after a comprehensive 82-59 win over South Carolina. Much has changed in women’s college basketball over the nine years between Auriemma’s 11th and 12th titles, but if there were any doubt that he still could put together a championship squad it ended with the Huskies’ dominant run through the 2025 NCAA Tournament.
