This incredible statistic shows how dominant the UConn men have been

It's safe to say that the reigning national champion Connecticut Huskies are one of the best teams in college basketball. 

On Sunday, No. 5 UConn dominated the Indiana Hoosiers 77-57 in the first game of the Empire Classic at Madison Square Garden. Senior guard Tristen Newton led the way for the Huskies, scoring 23 points, grabbing 11 rebounds and dishing out six assists. 

College Basketball analyst and Fox Sports Radio host Aaron Torres provided this stat that shows how truly dominant UConn has been since last season. 

Other than a few blips in conference play last season, like losing three in a row to Marquette, St. John's and Seton Hall in January and losing again to Marquette in the semifinals of the Big East tournament, UConn has literally been unbeatable.

These dominant, double-figure wins haven't just come against low-major opponents. UConn has taken down some of the top programs in the country in non-conference play like Oregon, No. 18 Alabama, Iowa State, Oklahoma State, Florida and most recently, Indiana. 

Last season's March Madness run included victories over No. 19 Saint Mary's, No. 9 Gonzaga, No. 16 Miami and No. 18 San Diego State.

After a historically dominant March Madness performance, UConn is once again off to a hot start. 

Despite losing their All-Big East First Team duo of forward Adama Sanogo and guard Jordan Hawkins to the pros, the Huskies have reloaded. Senior guard Cam Spencer who transferred from Rutgers is shooting the lights out from deep, hitting threes at a 46.4% clip. The Freshmen guard duo of Stephon Castle and Solomon Ball are also looking like future stars. 

UConn's returners have also stepped up. Sophomore forward Alex Karaban is leading the team with 17.3 points, sophomore center Donovan Clingan is dominating in the paint with 2.4 blocks and Newton is looking like one of the best lead guards in the country. 

It's still early, but UConn is looking like one of the favorites to once again cut down the net in April.
