Around the college basketball world, many schools are holding their open houses where the men's and women's basketball teams introduce themselves, both head coaches say, "We're going to have a great season," etc. etc. etc.
Only one school however is holding such an event for the national champions in the sport -- namely the UConn Huskies.
On Friday night, the Huskies held their "First Night" where fans had a chance to get an autograph from both teams and their coaches.
