The win marks a special moment for UConn, with two family members - Angel Reese of Louisiana State University and Jordan Hawkins - already experiencing success in the NCAA men's basketball tournament. For Hawkins, winning the title one day after his cousin won the women's title is an added bonus.

uconn's offense is straight fire 
i mean who needs defense when you can just shoot from everywhere and hope for the best? 
but seriously, those two seniors are ballers 
and coach hurley must be having some kind of senior moment lol 
he's been saying that stuff for like 2 years now. anyway, congrats to uconn on their 5th title, i guess it's nice to see them finally do something right 
I mean, those Huskies know how to bring the heat 
! Tristen Newton and Adama Sanogo are straight up ballers 
. And that defense? SICK 
! They shut down San Diego State's offense in the second half when it mattered most. Coach Dan Hurley is a genius, for real 
! UConn's got 5 titles now, and it's crazy to think about how many more they could add 
5 ncaa titles is insane. i feel bad for san diego state though, they gave it a good run but just couldn't keep up 
coach hurley's speech about their confidence and resilience makes total sense tho 
uconn's defense was super key in the 2nd half especially after san diego state made that late push 
They played so smoothly, like they were in sync with each other on and off the court 
. Their defense really stepped up and showed why they were the top seed for so long 
.
Tristen Newton and Adama Sanogo are straight ballers 
now uconn is def in history books 
! They dominated that game 76-59 and it's clear they're the real deal 
. And can we talk about their defense? 
. UConn's got that fifth title and it's official - they're one of the best programs in college hoops 
!
uconn's defense was insane!! san diego state had some great shots but just couldn't catch up 
coach dan hurley must be beaming with pride 
theyve been through so much this season and to come out on top like that is just amazing. i love how coach hurley talked about their confidence and resilience - that's what sets them apart from the rest. and san diego state was definitely game, but uconn's defense was solid 
i'm also kinda loving that uconn family members are repping their alma mats - angel reese & jordan hawkins 
. They're so disciplined and confident on both ends of the court. I'm not surprised they took down San Diego State 76-59 - it was almost inevitable. But you gotta wonder, what does this say about our NCAA tournament system? Is it just a case of power teams like UConn taking home the title year after year? 
And what about the San Diego State team - they were so close, but just couldn't overcome UConn's superior play. It's a reminder that sometimes you just gotta accept your fate and move on.
