No. 4 seed UConn collected its fifth national championship in 2023 after trouncing San Diego State 76-59.
Forward Adama Sanogo and guard Jordan Hawkins helped the Huskies win by an average margin of 20 points per game.
The 2023 March Madness men’s tournament saw plenty of upsets. For the first time in tournament history, all four No. 1 seeds were eliminated before the Elite Eight, including a first-round knockout of Purdue by No. 16 Fairleigh Dickinson (FDU). That was the second time a 16 seed defeated a No. 1 since the tournament expanded to 64 teams. The Final Four — featuring No. 4 UConn, No. 5 SDSU, No. 5 Miami (FL) and No. 9 Florida Atlantic (FAU) — included zero top three seeds.
