Message: [QUOTE="maple, post: 4787020, member: 7970"] 111 wins in a row is definitely the shining star on top of a long list of accomplishments. It likely will be a record that is never beaten. And that's not even mentioning that UConn WBB has 3 of the longest unbeaten streaks ever. Almost impossible to think about. I personally value the 4 titles in a row as much higher if only because it had never happened before in WBB and probably never will again. And yes we lucked out with Baylor losing to L'Ville, but after we took care of business with ND in the FF that year (after them having had our number for quite a few games!) I think we could have beaten anyone we played in the final. Stewie was NOT going to lose, period. I just think it was such an incredibly difficult feat and especially in 2016 when we were just steam rolling EVERYONE. Also mentioning that class -- having players picked to go 1, 2, and 3 in the draft from the same school is quite special. Otherwise, all of the other accomplishments are equally great and difficult for me to rank. I think somewhere in that list I would include the 2004 and 2014 titles as being particularly special because the men also won on those years. Being the only team to win a duel National Championship is an incredible thing, but to do it TWICE? I don't know if anyone will ever best that. [/QUOTE]
