Winning a national title comes with some really big things– including some really big rings.
The UConn men’s basketball team got their 2024 national championship rings during a private ceremony on Thursday night, and fans got a look at them on social media.

The team’s account posted photos and videos of the rings, using the hashtag “#Everything,” a reference to the fact that UConn won “everything” it set out to win last season, from the Big East regular season and tournament titles to a second straight national championship.

Not only did UConn give players and coaches a ring honoring the 2024 national title, the Huskies also sprang for a back-to-back ring, which the program says is a first-of-its kind in college athletics.

UConn also gave fans a sneak peek at some of the changes made inside Gampel Pavilion, where a large, new video board was added, along with a giant display showing off the men’s basketball program’s six national titles, 19 Sweet 16s, 13 Elite Eights, seven Final Fours and 34 regular season conference and tournament titles.
