How the world looked the last time a men's NCAA hoops program went back-to-back - ESPN

The UConn Huskies won the men's NCAA national championship for the second straight season with a 75-60 victory over the Purdue Boilermakers.

Tristen Newton led the Huskies with 20 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds, becoming the first player to have at least 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in a national championship game since Carmelo Anthony in 2003, according to ESPN Stats & Information. Purdue's Zach Edey had 37 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks in his final collegiate game, joining Bill Walton and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (then Lew Alcindor) as the only players with at least 35 points and 10 rebounds in a title game.

UConn moves to 6-0 in national championship games and is now one of four programs with at least six titles. The Huskies are the first team to go back-to-back since the Florida Gators accomplished the feat in 2007 and third to do so since the tournament expanded in 1985.

Here's a look back at what was going on in the world the last time a school went back-to-back.

One of the most influential moments in the history of technology occurred in early 2007 with Apple's announcement of the first iPhone.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs shared the news on Jan. 9, 2007, explaining the company would be introducing «three revolutionary products» — a widescreen iPod, revolutionary mobile phone and breakthrough internet communicator. The twist that Jobs revealed was these three products would be all in one device, not separate, called the iPhone.

The device was released in June 2007 and sold 1 million units in just 74 days, compared to two years it took the iPod to achieve the same feat. Since 2007, Apple's iPhone has sold 1.5 billion units worldwide.
