Lost in all this was…

- Start date
Also lost was that the Huskies 44th consecutive win tonight surpassed South Carolina and is now #7 on the WCBB D1 win streaks list. Of the top 6 teams on this list, 1, 2, 3 and 5 are UConn, and 6 is Tennessee with 46 straight.

That would make them ties with UTenn at sixth (T-6); pretty sure the Huskies will have no problems with PC on Sunday, to take sole possession of 6th place with 45 in a row.
Go Huskies!!
Also lost in the clutter - Azzi passed the 1500 point career scoring mark in the game and now sits at 1519 and in 30th place all-time behind MoJeff (1532) having moved above Asjha Jones (1502.)
Telluride: TN streak is 46. And that LaTech streak in 4th place is mostly an AIAW record, so I like to ignore it! 😎

MoJeff was a 2x All-American, 4x national champ, and 2x Lieberman winner. Asjha was a key starter on the best team ever and Olympic Gold Medalist. Nice company for Azzi!

Trying not to get ahead of ourselves, say that they remain undefeated until the national championship game (3 regular season games, 3 BE tournament, 5 march madness) that would put them at 55 games and number four on this list!
.-.
Just a side note on the winning streaks - LaTech won 32 of 54 their games with an undefeated 32-0 season while under the AIAW system (an undefeated season the NCAA does not recognize in their list of undefeated seasons/teams), and then won 22 games to start their first NCAA season. I think that streak should have a 'Babe Ruth Asterisk' attached at the very least! 😎
(I actually contacted the NCAA stats folks to ask the question, and was informed that the inclusion decision and reason were lost in the mists of time. Still, it would be nice to have the 4 top streaks and perhaps the fifth as well.)

Nah, if the Lady Techsters schedules of both years were significantly different, then I might agree with you, ucmiami2. But in both years LaTech played a bunch of the best programs in WCBB at that time; and their runs to the NC in both years was impressive.
IMO, their streaks - as well as their titles - were well earned and deserving of recognition.
Now what the NCAA recognizes and what they don't is another issue all-together. For example, recognizing Tennessee as having the most wins all-time because UT claims to have won games going back to the 1902-03 season. Good grief, the next oldest program in the most wins list is James Madison beginning in 1920-21. So who in heck were the Lady Vols even playing?
