Mike Tyson Mistakenly Congratulates Cincinnati Instead of UConn on 4-Peat

Breanna Stewart and the Connecticut Huskies put the finishing touches on an incredible four-year run with an 82-51 victory over the Syracuse Orange in the national championship game on Tuesday night.

UConn has now won 75 consecutive games and has cut down the nets in each of the past four seasons—the latter a feat only John Wooden's UCLA Bruins (1967-73) had accomplished.

The Huskies have been the premier program in women's college basketball the past two decades, and nobody who has paid attention to basketball in recent years would ever confuse Geno Auriemma's squad for any other team. But alas, it happened to a sports icon Tuesday.

Once UConn completed the four-peat, boxing legend Iron Mike Tyson tweeted out some love to the national champs. Only, he gave a shoutout to the Cincinnati (or, as he put it, "Cinncinati") Bearcats, not the UConn Huskies.

Just a minor mistake.

As ESPN's Darren Rovell points out, the Bearcats have been nowhere near as good as the Huskies (151-5) over the past four seasons:

It was an innocent mistake by Tyson, but it was a pretty glaring error. He has since deleted the tweet.
