A record for 30 Game Winning Seasons (merged)

[TWG236]

With this the their win today, 16 UConn Classes will now have graduated with winning at least 30 games in all four seasons of their basketball career. Some like to talk that some programs have passed UConn, but no program will every break all of the records Geno and Chris have established over their illustrious careers.

Does UConn have the NCAA record for consecutive 30 win seasons?
If so, which team (active) is next in line?
If not, where do we sit among active streaks?

I heard that this is UConn's 28th 30 win season, and no other team has more than 20. I'm guessing that's either Tennessee or Stanford. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Our most recent sub-30 win seasons were in 2019-20 and 2020-21, when the seasons were shortened by Covid. We were 29-3 and 28-2 in those years. Otherwise, you have to go back to 2004-5 to see one--we were 25-8 that year and made it to the Sweet 16. quite impressive

While I know all too well that there are much bigger goals ahead for this UConn team, we should never miss yet another opportunity to celebrate the incredible success of UConn WBB.

With their win yesterday the Huskies record this season goes to 30-3. That’s the 28th time a Geno Auriemma coached UConn team reached 30 wins in a season, which is considerably better than whoever the 2nd place team is.

I would think that the Covid seasons earn an asterisk seeing that a possible 6 games were not played in 19-20 and in 20-21, teams could cancel games due to Covid.
I guess I need to do some deeper digging to find out the consecutive streaks. UConn should be easy to find out, other teams, probably not.

For the record, TN is 2nd with 21 x 30 win seasons. Stanford is 3rd with 18. On the men’s side Kansas leads the way with 16.

 

[MSGRET]

Currently there are 5 teams that have won 30 or more games this season, TCU 31-3, Texas 31-3, UCLA 30-2, UConn 30-3 and SC 30-3. 42 additional teams could get to 30 wins, needing anywhere from 1 win to running the table in the NCAA Tournament.

If TN's record is currently active, they have 22 wins this season, so they won't reach 30. And Stanford can't come close to 30 seeing that they are currently at 16 wins.
