2022–23 UConn Huskies men's basketball team

The 2022–23 UConn Huskies men's basketball team represented the University of Connecticut in the 2022–23 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Huskies were led by fifth-year head coach Dan Hurley in the team's third season since their return to the Big East Conference. The Huskies played their home games at the Harry A. Gampel Pavilion in Storrs, Connecticut and the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut. They finished the season 31–8, 13–7 in Big East play to finish in a tie for fourth place. As the No. 4 seed in the Big East tournament, they defeated Providence in the quarterfinals before losing to Marquette in the semifinals. They received an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament as the No. 4 seed in the West region. They defeated Iona, Saint Mary's, Arkansas, and Gonzaga to advance to the school's sixth Final Four and first since 2014. They defeated Miami and San Diego State to win the national championship game, the school's fifth championship since 1999, and were only the fifth men's team to win all six of its games by 10 points or more. 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 13 points.
