The UConn men's basketball team celebrated their back-to-back NCAA championship wins with a visit to the White House on September 10, where they were honored by President Biden. This marks the sixth trip for the UConn men since their first championship in 1999. Coach Dan Hurley emphasized the team's determination to win every tournament opportunity during their historic 2023-24 season, culminating in a program record of 37 wins.
