UConn aims for third consecutive NCAA championship title

The UConn Huskies, defending champions and an eight seed in the NCAA Tournament, face the Oklahoma Sooners in the first round. Expectations were high for a potential three-peat, but their path includes a likely matchup against strong contender Florida. Former UConn player Stephon Castle, now with the San Antonio Spurs, has predicted his old team will win the championship again. Castle, a rookie candidate for NBA honors, believes UConn can achieve the rare feat of three consecutive titles. The Huskies' journey is challenging, as they may struggle against Florida in the second round. No team has won three straight championships since UCLA's streak ended in 1969.
