For Gardler, the daughter of Auriemma's high school coach, the fact that her team is no longer the historical standard bearer for consistent excellence is somewhat disappointing.
"I thought that in maybe 20 years we'd all come back for a Hall of Fame induction. You know, 'they won 90 straight, they were amazing.' But it lasted just a little over five years," Gardler said. "That's such a testament to what kind of machine it is. If I went to practice tomorrow they would be doing the same type of drills, running the same plays. He hasn't changed anything. That's why a UConn team is breaking our record. It will never happen at Notre Dame or Tennessee.
