UConn basketball is poised to make history by sending both its men's and women's teams to the national championship game, a feat last achieved in 2014. The women face South Carolina (1-seed) on Friday, while the men tackle Illinois (2-seed) on Saturday. This dual appearance is a stark contrast to 2014, when the men's team required overtime to beat 10-seed St. John's and never won by more than 12 points en route to a Butler victory.

The women, however, cruised to a 79-58 win over Notre Dame, capping a perfect 40-0 season. The rarity of this situation underscores how dominant UConn basketball has become in the past decade.
