The University of Connecticut men's basketball head coach Dan Hurley rang the Opening Bell at the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday.

Gov. Ned Lamont and other UConn officials were also there for the special moment.

People cheered and clapped for the Huskies as the bell was being rang.

The ringing of the Opening Bell signals the opening of the day's trading.

This comes a little over a week after the UConn men's basketball team won its fifth national championship.

UConn won 76-59 over San Diego State in Houston, Texas, on Monday, April 3.

Nearly 45,000 fans came out to Hartford over the weekend for a parade and victory rally to celebrate the team's win.
