    With its 75-60 win Monday, UConn became the first repeat champion since 2006-07 Florida. But the Huskies didn't just repeat. They dominated. Steamrolled. Crushed. Whatever verb you want, UConn did it. The Huskies posted a +140 point differential, the best ever in a single tournament. Their average scoring margin of +23.3 was second-best of all time behind only John Wooden and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (then Lew Alcindor)-led 1967 UCLA.

    UConn did not trail for a single second in the second half of any tournament game this year.

    But this was nothing new. UConn won all six of its tournament games by at least 13 points. The only other team to win six tournament games by at least 13 points? UConn ... last year. In a tournament synonymous with madness, UConn faced zero stressful endings. Walk-on Andrew Hurley -- son of head coach Dan -- played in all 12 of UConn's tournament wins over the past two seasons, often dribbling the clock out in another blowout.

    Twelve teams tried to knock off the Huskies. Twelve failed. The individual domination can get lost in a sea of emphatic wins, though. So here are UConn's 12 tournament wins over the last two seasons, ranked in order of impressiveness.
