[New Book] "UConn Men's Basketball: An Illustrated Timeline" Available Now!

HARTFORD, Conn. - EntSun -- Relive Decades of Memorable Players and Unforgettable Stories in UCONN MEN'S BASKETBALL: AN ILLUSTRATED TIMELINE

ST. LOUIS, MO—Reedy Press is pleased to announce the release of our newest local interest book, UConn Men's Basketball: An Illustrated Timeline, by David Borges.

With six national championships under three different head coaches in one 26-year span, UConn basketball has been the most successful men's program of the 21st century.

No program has won more national titles in that span. No program has won more Big East championships, even though the Huskies were out of the league for seven seasons. And when UConn won back-to-back titles in 2023 and 2024, it became the first program to repeat in 17 years, and just the third to do so since the UCLA dynasties of the late 1960s/early 1970s.

UConn has spawned a Hall of Fame player in Ray Allen and a coach in Jim Calhoun. No doubt, Dan Hurley will be enshrined in Springfield someday, as well. Since Calhoun took over the program in 1986, the Huskies have had 17 NBA Draft lottery picks, 24 first-round selections and 40 overall . . . and counting. UConn's success has shown no signs of slowing down under Hurley.

But Husky history dates back much further. From its time as a regional power in the Yankee Conference to its days of dominance in the Big East, UConn has had remarkable success—sprinkled in with the occasional spectacular failure. All the championship teams, AllAmerican players, dynamic personalities, and iconic games and moments that have helped turned little Storrs, Connecticut, into the "Basketball Capital of the Word" are chronicled in this book by longtime UConn men's basketball beat writer David Borges.
