As the confetti came streaming down inside State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. and UConn men’s basketball had clinched its second straight national title, fans everywhere took to social media to celebrate.
Here’s some of the best we saw:
One Shining Moment for Dan Hurley and Alex Karaban.
Love you Coach, the absolute best 💙🐺 #6 🏆 https://t.co/1D9yakHhd0

Jordan Hawkins was grinning ear to ear.

Hassan already thinking about a 3-peat.
Hassan Diarra to me: “We are the bluest of the bloods.”

Not sure if sarcastic, Ryen Russillo?
If Clingin wins 6 NBA titles, would tonight put him ahead of Jordan with back to back National Championships? It feels a little early to ask but not impossible.

Seems good, no?

Draymond Green gave Samson Johnson a shoutout.
Job Well Done 35! You did your job tonight. It was him that made Edey quit with about 19 mins to go in the 2nd half. There was a turnover and I saw Edey body language walking back. He was done. Now rewatch the game from that point on. #FreeGame

UConn, the younger generation’s UCLA?
How old you would have to be to see these programs win six titles:
Kentucky – 73
North Carolina – 67
UCLA – 54
UConn – 25— No Escalators (@NoEscalators) April 9, 2024
Jonathans XIV and XV make a good point.
Anyone else notice that @UConnMBB won the semifinal game by 14 points and the national championship by 15? Coincidence? We think not. #EVERYTHING pic.twitter.com/gh1zmiw7yM

Straight to the Huskies of Honor for Tristen?
I need that Kemba / Shabazz treatment for Tristen Newton tomorrrow: immediately put into Huskies of Honor at championship rally.

Probably how this should work now.
From now on, UConn will tell you if you’re a blue blood or not.

With more titles than Jim Boeheim, you’d think he’d be used to it by now, right?
Surprised Apostolous, after all of this experience, struggled to use the scissors last night. Andre Johnson helped him out. pic.twitter.com/cTzfKUZrFY

Now that’s deep.
UConn basketball is what people think Duke basketball is.

Charlie Villanueva with some wise words as well.
Greatness is not about being better than others, it's when individuals can bring their unique skills and perspectives to the table, working together towards a common goal. It's about mutual respect, effective communication, and a shared commitment to achieving success. @UConnMBB
