The Huskies finished the season 37–3, 18–2 in Big East play to win the regular season championship. They defeated Xavier, St. John's, and Marquette to win the Big East tournament, receiving the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. They won the 2024 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament, becoming the first back-to-back National Champions since Florida (who won the tournament in 2006 and 2007). They were the first team since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985 (therefore requiring six victories to win the championship), to win every game by at least 14 points. That broke their own record of winning every game by 13 points, set the previous year.[1] They set additional records in the NCAA tournament for largest combined margin of victory in all their games with 140 points; and by extension, the largest-average margin of victory of 23.3 points per game.[2]
