UConn celebrated their 2023 national title in style in Hartford Saturday afternoon, riding in a double-decker bus through Bushnell Park and ending their parade with a rally outside of the XL Center. Hartford police estimate over 45,000 fans were in attendance to greet the Huskies in Connecticut’s capital, where Dan Hurley told fans that while the “strive for five” was complete, he and the team were doing everything possible to be “in the mix for number six.”
“I was amazed just by how many people were here today, it was surreal,” Hurley said. “Not many programs win national championships, but I gotta tell you, the mind is definitely already started turning into the things we got to do to be in the mix for number six.
