Could UConn beat the record they set in 1998-99 when they started the season with 19 straight wins?  That would be very tough BUT they are off to the best start since 2013-14 when they also started 9-0.  We all know what happened in those other two seasons.

They are close to surpassing the 11-0 start from the 2008-09 FF team (who won 24 of their first 25) and if they were to win 3 more, I think that would be their fourth-best start ever.  (1994-95 started 15-0)

Second best?  The 15-0 start to the 94-95 season.

This team is matching some of the all-time best teams' early success, that's for sure.

Undefeated to start the season
1998-99 = 19-0  *championship
1994-95 = 15-0  *elite 8
2008-09 = 11-0 *final four
2005-06 = 11-0  *elite 8
2010-11 = 10-0  *championship
2013-14 = 9-0  *championship
2022-23 = 9-0  * ??

03-04 got crushed in their 4th game but bounced back nicely as we all know.

But if history has anythng to say, we are looking, at the very least, at an elite 8 team.  At least.  Good chance even Final four.
