The Huskies will honor the 2015 and '16 teams against Villanova.
The University of Connecticut women's basketball program will honor the 2015 and 2016 national championship teams on Jan. 15 when the No. 1 ranked Huskies take on Villanova at Gampel Pavilion.
The Huskies have already had multiple celebrations this season, first honoring last season's title team by raising the banner, and then by retiring Sue Bird's No. 10.
As noted by a release from UConn, the team's will also go in the Huskies of Honor.
Per that same release:
The Huskies posted a 38-1 record in 2014-15, winning their last 37 contests, and took home their record 10th national championship thanks in large part to the outstanding play of the All-America trio of Moriah Jefferson, Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis and Breanna Stewart.
The 2015-16 team posted its record sixth perfect season en route to winning its fourth-straight national championship. The All-America trio of Jefferson, Stewart and Morgan Tuck completed their careers in style after presiding over the most successful four-year stretch in team history, which included an incredible four-year record of 151-5.
Following the 2015-16 campaign, Stewart, Jefferson and Tuck became the first teammates in history to be selected with the first three picks in the WNBA Draft.
