UConn Hoops
UConn's sports teams (nicknamed "Huskies")
participate in the NCAA's Division I-A and in the Big
East Conference, except for hockey, which is not sponsored
by the Big East. The men's hockey program competes in
Atlantic Hockey and the women's hockey program is a member
of Hockey East. The most notable athletic facilities are:
UConn is best known for having its men's
and women's basketball teams consistently ranked in or
near the top 10 in the nation in their respective divisions.
The men's team won the NCAA Div. I title in 1999 and 2004,
and the women won in 1995, 2000, 2002, 2003, and 2004,
including undefeated seasons in 1995 and 2002. Emeka Okafor,
Richard Hamilton, Ray Allen, Cliff Robinson, Ben Gordon,
Caron Butler, Svetlana Abrosimova, Nykesha Sales, Swin
Cash, Kara Wolters, Tamika Williams, Diana Taurasi, Sue
Bird, and Rebecca Lobo are among the list of professional
basketball players to achieve success after attending
UConn.
In 2004, UConn became the second school
ever, and the first in Division I, to win the men's and
women's basketball titles in the same season. It was also
the first school to ever have both teams ranked number
1 in the nation at the same time (1994), and has also
spent the most weeks by far with both teams holding the
number one spot, with Duke University being the only other
team ever to achieve the feat, for a short period during
the 2003-2004 season.
In addition to its basketball success, UConn
is known for its solid soccer teams. The men's team has
won two national titles, most recently in 2000, and the
women advanced to the title game in 2003. UConn also has
the best average attendance in the nation for both men's
and women's soccer. Major League Soccer players Chris
Gbandi, Damani Ralph, Bobby Rhine, and Shavar Thomas each
attended UConn.
UConn football moved up to Division I-A
status in 2000, was included in official NCAA Division
I-A statistics for the first time in 2002, and became
a full Big East member in 2004. UConn has been recognized
as having the fastest progression out of I-AA in NCAA
history, as it was invited into a BCS conference only
two years after becoming a full I-A member, was bowl-eligible
in its first season in I-A, and was invited to a bowl
game in its first season as a conference member. The Huskies
defeated the University of Toledo in the Motor City Bowl
by a score of 39-10, with quarterback Dan Orlovsky being
named Most Valuable Player. In 2003, the team was also
honored for being one of only 7 schools in the U.S. to
graduate 90% or better of its members; it was the only
public school on the list.
UConn students have sometimes been criticized
for their rowdy celebrations after national championship
wins. After the men's basketball team won their first
NCAA championship in 1999, widespread rioting and otherwise
criminal behavior in Storrs was reported, with numerous
fires being set in celebration. These displays were similar
to those that occur almost yearly at other universities
that win championships, such as those at Michigan State
in 2000 and Maryland in 2002. Fires were again set in
2004, some well before the first championship game to
be played that year (the men's) had even reached halftime.
These incidents led many in the state, especially
the editorial staff at The Hartford Courant, to call for
tighter campus security and harsher punishments for such
incidents. Many students and supporters of the university
pointed to the fact that most arrests made during these
incidents have been of non-UConn students, and that the
majority of riotous behavior occurs at off-campus establishments,
especially privately owned and operated residences and
apartment complexes.
