UConn became its first back-to-back national champions since 2007 last season when it defeated Purdue in the national championship game, and now they have rings to honor the monumental feat.

On Thursday, UConn revealed its back-to-back national championship rings.

The rings feature six stones to represent the Huskies’ six national championships along with the Big East trophies, representing their regular season and conference tournament titles, the New York skyline where the Big tournament is played East, and their 21 wins in the conference.

The bottom of the ring features his dominant NCAA tournament scores. On the side, the rings have “BK-BOS-PHX,” marking his journey to the championship through Brooklyn, Boston and Phoenix. The Huskies’ 37-3 record is etched on the same side.

The Huskies dominated en route to a national championship by a total margin of victory of 140 points. They defeated the top-seeded Boilermakers 75-60 in the national title game.

The last team to win back-to-back championships was Billy Donovan’s Florida in 2006 and 2007, but now Dan Hurley and UConn are chasing more history as they seek a three-peat.

No team has won three consecutive championships since UCLA led by the legendary John Wooden did it in the 1960s and 1970s. While that seems like an impossible feat, Hurley and the Huskies seem capable.
