The UConn Huskies are one of the most athletically and academically competitive teams in the Big East every year, as 50% of the school's athletes maintain a 3.0 or better GPA. In 2004, the Connecticut Huskies were just the second school ever to capture both men's and women's basketball NCAA National Championships. The Connecticut Huskies are a powerful team, and have produced several NBA players. Most notably, UConn is the first school ever to send 5 players to the NBA in a two-round draft. Memphis Grizzlies star Rudy Gay was one of the Huskies basketball players selected in the NBA draft first round.
Both the Connecticut men's and women's basketball teams play their home games at the Harry A. Gampel Pavilion in Storrs, Connecticut. The arena is the largest on-campus arena in New England. The Pavilion was the site of Jim Calhouns's 700th win.
