We all want the three-peat, but by winning just one game in next year's NCAA tournament I'm thinking Karaban/Diarra/Samson could set a school record. We've had guys with 12 NCAA wins -- Bazz, Giffey, Olander, plus guys on this year's team. Has anyone topped that?

Rashad Anderson/Denham Brown class also had 12 over four years.

Who am I missing?

Guys here from 02-05 and 03-06 all had 11 NCAA wins. 11-14 guys had 12. Current group has 12.

If we're counting NIT wins, 97-00 guys (Freeman and Voskuhl) would have had 13 national post-season wins (10 NCAA, 3 NIT).
Hassan Diarra would actually lead this if you count his time at A&M as he'd have 12 NCAA and 4 NIT wins

Remember also, that is 12 wins in a row; wondering who outside of UCLA players have more in a row.

None. And being that those UCLA teams had to win fewer than 6 games to win a chip, there's a possibility even some three-time winners at UCLA only have 12 or less wins in a row.

The 1997 guys actually won 4 in the NIT (the 4th was a fun rout of Arkansas in the consolation game).

It's actually kind of easy to figure out among UConn players that 12 is the max.

During the 90s, we never made the Tournament more than 3 years in a row and never made the Final Four. Anyone pre-1999 could have at most 9 Tournament wins (e.g. Ray Allen, Travis Knight have 8). As other have said 1996-1999 have 11. 1998-2000 have 10.

During the 00s, nobody made the Final Four twice. Hilton Armstrong has 12.

Kemba has 10. We never won a game in consecutive years between 2006 and 2013, so that's the max for this era.

Shabazz, Giffey, and Olander have 12 from two championships, but no other wins. The 2010s after that were a wasteland.

And anyone here the last two years has 12.

So 13 would be a UConn career NCAA Tournament wins record.

In recent history, 13 is also the record for consecutive NCAA Tournament wins by a program, Duke from 1991-1993.

If we make the Sweet 16 this year, Karaban, Diarra, and Johnson set UConn records as well as NCAA records for the last 50 years.

As during UCLA's run players only had three years eligibility and it took four wins to bring home the title, none of their players has more than twelve.

The player(s) with the most consecutive wins (barring some very strange transfer situation) has to be from Duke 1991-1993 with 13 as Florida missed two consecutive years after winning back to back then got knocked off in the first round.

1993 Duke lost in round two against Cal (Jason Kidd).

Didn’t bazz and co win their first game in 2012 tournament? Or was ISU first round?

Some Michigan state player likely has 14 from the 1999-2001 seasons

There were several guys from Villanova from 2014-2019 that have 13-15 wins. I was looking quickly, Phil Booth would have 15 wins though he is listed as redshirting one season, I forget which.
