NCAA career coaching records do not include results from Olympic/National team tenures. Separate things.

If you're referring to all-time winning streaks, Stanford broke the 90-game one in Maya Moore's senior year. Morgan William & Miss. State broke the 111-game streak (the current record-holder) in the 2017 Final Four. Stanford also broke the streak in between those, a 47 game win streak 2 games...

As noted in the OP the 'round of 64' 1st round has only been around since the women's tournament expanded from 48 to 64 in 1994, thus "30 years" and '30-0' (the reason its not 31 years/31-0 is the suspended COVID year of 2020). Auriemma's teams have, however, lost twice in the prior 'round of...

Temple still has the AAC final to play vs. UAB tomorrow.

C'mon, all of you know Boston is first and foremost a pro sports town, with successful, relevant franchises in all the major leagues. The Globe will spend ink on the local college programs - the Beanpot Tourney, BC, UMass. They paid attention when UConn made their Final Fours. Really, the Boston...

I think UConn's bracket lines up to face the Indiana (Greenville 2) bracket winner in the FF

Sweet 16

Caitlin Clark with the rare triple-double: 30/10/17!!

Creme has in the past used the AP Top 25 rankings as a guide to his seedings. No.'s 1-4 would often be his 1-seeds, No.'s 2-8 his 2-seeds, etc. UConn is currently #9 in the AP so by the above parameters, he would have them as the highest 3-seed. Where he will try to follow Committee protocols is...

Final Top 16 Reveal from the NCAA: Final DI WBB Committee reveal places South Carolina, Indiana, Stanford and Utah as top seeds UConn at #7, the 2-seed in the same bracket with Indiana (1 seed), Notre Dame (3 seed), and Arizona (4 seed).

To add a bit of refinement to the "First Four" question: the eight teams composing the First Four are split evenly between the four lowest seeded Automatic Qualifiers (practically all mid-major conference tournament winners) and the four lowest At-Large Bid seeds (11-13 seeds, usually). This is...

American University - Patriot League a.q.

I believe they are referring to Caroline Doty.

TV was wrong. Auriemma has 125 wins and now 21 losses. Tenn. numbers I can't dispute.

Auriemma is 125-21 in the NCAA tournament. ESPN is wrong. The 1st round byes in '90 and '91 were accounted for. Summitt's post-season record in the NCAA's, last I checked, was 112-23. Including AIAW tournaments, I'm less certain on. AIAW had "regional qualifying rounds" that I'm uncertain...

Queen Egbo had a pretty effective game as well. She rebounded, defended and made some crucial shots down low. Every time Mulkey spelled her with Bickle or Gusters, she was forced to get Egbo back in quickly as UConn tended to take advantage of her absence.

My own calculation has Pat Summitt's NCAA tournament record at 112-23. Her Lady Vol teams also participated in the NCAA's predecessor, the AIAW tournament, from 1977-1981 (The NCAA women's tournament began in 1982). As far as I was able to discern, her record in the AIAW was 12-6. Thus...

Your math is excellent - UConn's history in the NCAA's began with the '89 tournament. They lost their first games in both '89 and '90.

At the risk of being that guy, I believe Auriemma's NCAA record is 125-20. The discrepancy, I believe, is that though UConn got to the 2nd round in 1990, that was when the tournament field was 48 teams, and 16 teams got byes in the 1st round. UConn was one of them, and they lost the 2nd round...

If I remember Auriemma's rationale when he recommended this, he thought it would facilitate better offensive flow to the women's game and lead to more scoring as it would raise the percentage of made lay-ups. He also noted it would require a commitment for universal adjustable backboards at all...

Playing in the Big Dance certainly carries more prestige to the players and program and is worth the effort to participate in. The same is likely less true for a WNIT run. We have seen instances in the past of prominent programs reacting like "NCAA or Bust" if they miss the tournament. Again...

I imagine some programs opt out of the WNIT because senior starters don't see it worth the risk of injury (putting their opportunities to play professionally at risk) playing in the lesser tournament. I believe that is what "injury concerns" is about. Not saying its a good excuse, but players do...

math is off just a tad: "Old" Big East - UConn won 19 reg. season titles (incl. 3 shared) and 18 conf. tournaments = 37 titles. The rest is correct, thus Auriemma/UConn has 53 total conference titles.

Tara Vanderveer's overall coaching record does not include Stanford's wins and losses from the '95-'96 season, when she took a year away to focus on her duties as head coach of the USNWT. Sylvia Hatchell, on the other hand, stepped away from her head coaching duties at North Carolina for the...

Per the NCAA WBB site: ALAMO REGION: UConn Arizona Georgia Arkansas RIVER WALK REGION: Stanford Baylor Louisville Tennessee MERCADO REGION: Texas A&M Maryland UCLA Kentucky HEMISFAIR REGION: South Carolina NC State Indiana Oregon "ALAMO/HEMISFAIR Winner vs. MERCADO/RIVER WALK Winner"

I think its practically a lock that Arkansas will be in UConn's 'region'. Their bout last month is turning out to be one of the most competitive and visually entertaining games of this season. I also think if this was a non-covid year that Maryland would be moved to UConn's or SoCarolina's...

More than up for it, Stewart, along with the other four honorees, is a co-winner of the 2020 award.

The Shogun of Harlem. quite the 80's ref. :cool:

Of the choices offered in the poll, I select Baylor, primarily on historic grounds. If Mulkey has exhibited a weakness among her many championship-caliber teams, it’s been the difficulty getting across the Regional finish line to the Final Four (where she has had remarkable success, winning the...

The current poll looks about right to me. Louisville's lofty rank is deserved at this time as it rewards their impressive win over the former consensus #1 and possibly corrects for a under-valued ranking. I didn't think Oregon would drop below 3 or 4 with the loss. So Carolina was #5 in the last...

Voting for NPOY will be different, I imagine, than voting for the AA Team, in which voters are selecting by position to some extent -- AA guards (Durr, Ionescu), AA forwards/wings (Collier, Gustafson) and AA 5 or post (McCowan). That Collier is top vote-getter suggests to me that her credentials...

The NCAA Committee will of course make their own seed rankings, regardless of Creme's judgements. I would not be surprised to find Stanford as their eventual 2-seed opposite UConn.

I agree; ND's last big test of the conference season is tomorrow night at NC State; if they win out, and avoid a loss in the ACC tourney, they ought to climb back up to the 1-line. UConn is pretty well set with only AAC opponents until the Big Dance.
