This is a list of the seasons completed by the UConn Huskies men's basketball team.
UConn has fielded a men's college basketball team since 1900. The team played in the Athletic League of New England State Colleges from 1900 to 1923, in the New England Conference from 1923 to 1946, and then in the Yankee Conference from 1946 to 1976. An independent from 1976 to 1979, UConn became a founding member of the original Big East Conference in 1979. When seven schools left that conference in 2013 to form a new Big East Conference, UConn remained behind in the old conference, which became the American Athletic Conference, marketed as "The American". UConn moved to the new Big East Conference in 2020.
UConn was regular-season champion or co-champion of the New England Conference five times. It was very successful in the Yankee Conference, finishing as regular-season champion or co-champion 16 times; on two other occasions, it played a playoff game to break a first-place tie, winning once for the regular-season championship and losing once to finish the season in second place. From 1975 to 1977 and in 1979, during four of the five seasons immediately preceding the formation of the original Big East Conference, UConn took part in the Eastern College Athletic Conference's regional Division I ECAC Men's Basketball Tournaments for Northeastern universities, winning New England Region championships in 1976 [1] and 1979. [2]
In the original Big East Conference of 1979–2013, UConn won or tied for the regular-season conference title in 1990, 1994, 1995, 1999, 2005, and 2006, and won regular-season division titles in the Big East 6 Division in 1996 and 1998 and in the Big East′s East Division in 2002. It also won the Big East men's basketball tournament seven times, in 1990, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2002, 2004, and 2011, tied only with Georgetown for the most conference tournament titles in the history of the original Big East. The Huskies won their first conference tournament championship in the new Big East in 2024, their eighth conference tournament title in the combined history of the original and new Big East conferences, again tying them with Georgetown for the most tournament championships in the combined history of the two conferences.
During its years in The American, UConn won the American Athletic Conference men's basketball tournament once, in 2016.
UConn has appeared in the NCAA Tournament 36 times, winning the national championship six times, in 1999, 2004, 2011, 2014, 2023, and 2024. It also reached the Final Four in 2009.
UConn has made 13 appearances in the National Invitation Tournament, winning it in 1988.
The team played as the Connecticut Aggies from 1900 to 1935, then as the Connecticut State Huskies from 1935 to 1940, becoming the Connecticut Huskies in 1940. Since 2013, the team has marketed itself as the UConn Huskies.
