History in the making: UConn Huskies’ 100-win streak
All they do is win, win, win, no matter what.
Behind forwards Gabby Williams and Napheesa Collier, the UConn Huskies beat South Carolina’s hoopsters 66-55 on Monday night — for their 100th straight win.
Williams and guard Kia Nurse have played in all 100 games of the streak.
Mind you, a past UConn team, also under veteran coach Geno Auriemma, owns the previous Division 1 college basketball record, 90 consecutive wins through 2010 — a streak snapped by Stanford, which is also the last team the Huskies lost to.
At 25-0 this season heading into Saturday’s game against Tulane, the Huskies haven’t lost since November 2014. Seriously, congrats. That’s a feat.
The UConn women’s team holds 11 national-championship titles — with a great shot at winning their fifth straight in next month’s NCAA tournament. What a dynasty!
“The 100-win streak isn’t all theirs,” Auriemma said of his current team after Monday’s win. “They carried the streak across the finish line. But if they win the national championship, it’s all theirs.”
We wish them all the luck: Watching history in the making is fun.
