! Tristen Newton and Adama Sanogo led the charge and it was so dope to see them get that recognition. Coach Hurley said it all - they knew their level of play and stuck with it 
. Dominating each game by at least 10 points, that's what I call confidence 
. You gotta respect a team that comes together like this, especially after some tough losses 
. And can we talk about Adama Sanogo's MVP performance? What an amazing season! UConn is on top of the world right now and I'm hyped for them 
so u think Uconn has a good shot at winning every year? 
the way they dominated each game tho is crazy, 13 points over Miami? 
I'm not surprised UConn crushed it in the tournament! Their team chemistry is insane 
. Senior guards Tristen Newton and Adama Sanogo are straight fire 
. The Huskies' depth is so impressive – they dominated every game 
. And can we talk about Dan Hurley's humble appreciation for his team? Class act 
. Now, 11 national titles is crazy... how do they keep doing this?! 
. I think it's safe to say that UConn is one of the most consistent teams in the country right now.
. It makes sense, because when you've got a solid team and a good system in place, it's hard to beat you 
. And let's be real, Adama Sanogo is a straight-up beast 
.
. Five NCAA titles is impressive enough, but 11 overall? That's just incredible 
.
. Their dominance in the tournament has been incredible, and it's not just about one player. The whole team was clicking and playing well together. Tristen Newton and Adama Sanogo were unstoppable, but their supporting cast stepped up as well.
️.
. Five NCAA titles is just ridiculous, like what even is the point of having a tournament if one team is gonna dominate like that? 11 titles overall is crazy, must be all about the money for those players now 
. And coaches just praising each other, nice try to spin it 
...
They totally dominated San Diego State 76-59! 
They won all 6 games by at least 10 points! 
! He knew his team was capable of greatness even during those tough times. And those players, Andre Jackson & Adama Sanogo... they're the real MVPs 
. This is what sports are all about - greatness & glory 
And Coach Hurley is all about keeping it real, talking about the dark times they went through during the season 
I need some sources to back up these claims. Coach Hurley's "dark times" comment also caught my attention... what exactly happened during those losses and how did they bounce back? 
they played like a well-oiled machine, dominating every game and proving their strength throughout the tournament
