How many games in a row have the Huskies won in Holiday Tournaments and where and when did the win streak start.

You got it. Interestingly, indeed where the last loss in a regular season tournament was gotten, and where a 22+ year streak of consecutive wins began in the consolation game of the tournament at Hilton Head. The loss however was by 20 points to Vandy, and was followed by a win over UNC-Charlotte to start the streak. The streak has included 20 tourneys, with of course 19 straight championships.

And if you think UConn's dominance in the regular season tournaments is a given, the team went 4-16 through its first 10 tournaments from the 1979-80 to 1982-83 seasons, never winning even one. Things got a little better in the 1983-84 through 1987-88 seasons when they were 10-14 and actually won a single tournament, the 1985 Connecticut Classic, the school's first home triumph also after hosting seven previous events. The tournament wins have come with more frequency since and now total 26, ranging from Hawaii to the Virgin Islands.
