    UConn women’s basketball has won 12 national championships since 1995 — more than any program in NCAA history. But which title team was the greatest of all time?

    In this episode of The Hoops Cap Pod, we rank all 12 UConn women’s NCAA championship teams from No. 12 to No. 1 — based on dominance, legacy, star power, and postseason performance. From Breanna Stewart’s perfect 2016 squad to Maya Moore’s back-to-back titles, Diana Taurasi’s three-peat, and the 1995 team that started it all, we break down which teams built “The Standard” in Storrs.

    Was the 2002 team with Sue Bird, Swin Cash, and Diana Taurasi really the best ever?

    Does Paige Bueckers’ 2025 title squad crack the top 5?

    And where does Geno Auriemma’s latest championship run rank among the greats?
