The University of Connecticut’s Womens Basketball team are one win away from owning the longest winning streak in the history of college basketball. A streak that will have stretched over 2 years. Like it or not, there is no disputing the teams dominance. It’s impossible to fathom a men’s program ever coming close to that streak ever again.
The UCONN Women have not only won 88 straight games, they’ve dismantled opponents. That’s what makes the streak tough to swallow for avid college basketball fans. They’ve absolutely destroyed teams, and not once did the playing field seem remotely level. I, myself, have a tough time accepting the legitimacy of the streak, but how can you not? Teams have dominated the history of their sport before.
Maybe, just maybe other teams like Stanford, Tennessee, etc will land some recruits under the “end UCONN’s streak” premise. When Maya Moore leaves, it’s safe to assume next year it’ll be over. Yeah, next year.
