The Huskies of Honor are the most significant figures in the history of University of Connecticut (UConn) athletics. Connecticut's men's and women's basketball teams are among the most successful in NCAA history, the men's team having won four national championships and the women's team an NCAA-record 11 championships, including four consecutive titles from 2013–16. The women's team also holds the two longest winning streaks in NCAA history, at 111 games from 2014–17 and 90 games from 2008–10. The inaugural honorees, inducted in two separate ceremonies during the 2006–07 season, included thirteen men's basketball players, ten women's basketball players, and four head coaches, of whom two coaches—Jim Calhoun and Geno Auriemma (pictured)—and one player—Rebecca Lobo—are also enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Since that time, an additional nine women's basketball players, seven men's basketball players, five national championship teams, one women's basketball assistant coach, and one athletic director have been honored. Placards honoring the Huskies of Honor are hung at Gampel Pavilion, the on-campus home court of UConn basketball. (Full list...)
