Not only did they win it all, but they dominated along the way — the Huskies became the first team to win each of their tournament games by at least 13 points.

Entering this season, UConn wasn't on a lot of people's radar, but they made the tournament look extremely easy.

Well, one Huskies legend has a fairly good reason why the school has become a "basketball kingdom."

Speaking to reporters after the championship game, Ray Allen said the lowkey surrounding environment of the school has led to its on-court success.

"I want to be focused on this right here because I’m trying to get somewhere with this. That is the environment that promotes higher learning and better basketball," he said. "I can walk down the street and get in the gym and shoot without any distractions along the way. That’s what I implore every child to think about when they’re picking their school: make sure you pick somewhere that doesn’t provide excess that keeps you distracted."
