The UConn men's basketball team was honored at state Capitol Thursday.

Senate Majority leader Bob Duff told players they made the state proud and that it was great to watch the team win game after game.

Coach Dan Hurley praised his staff and team and says he's thrilled they could deliver the big win for the state.

"They played their best at the important time of the year, and we know how much the basketball programs and how important basketball is in the state of Connecticut," said Hurley.
