WATCH: Dan Hurley meets and greets UConn fans hours before unveiling championship banner

The 2024 national championship is still fresh in the minds of the UConn community, especially for men's basketball head coach Dan Hurley.

Hurley achieved remarkable feats over the past two years, winning consecutuve NCAA titles with the Huskies as he begins the 2024-25 campaign with a potential three-peat on the table.

Last season was particularly eye-opening for many who watched UConn. The Huskies went undefeated with a perfect 37-0 record, taking down Purdue in the championship game in Phoenix, Arizona, and completing what will go down as one of the most dominant college basketball seasons in history.

UConn unveiled their championship banner on Nov. 6 before playing their season opener against Sacred Heart. For Hurley, he decided to take part in the celebrations with fans by doing meets and greets with them outside the Huskies' arena, Gampel Pavilion, to express his positivity in commemorating what the program accomplished.
