Semi-OT: Crazy stat for the women's team

[amory]

Since joining the AAC, the women have played 111 total games. In that time, they're 110-1 overall, and 54-0 in-conference.

I know you can pick any number of insane stats put up by them, but this one grabbed me. It's completely absurd.

If they win another national championship this year, the American conference in its 3 seasons of existence will tie the Big 12 for third in most women's championships by a conference.

Geno & Co are doing things that I can't do in NBA 2k16 with the West All Star roster and the difficulty set to Rookie. Mad props.

UConn Women have nearly a third of all the championships. More than any conference.

Since the American is the same conference that was formerly know as the Big East, shouldn't it's total championships be 11? 10 UConn, 1 Notre Dame.

Yeah, should be. The waters get muddied because the NBE retained the branding rights, so people get confused.

Even ESPN, I think, consider the NBE as the same as the original when they talk about conference records, championship numbers, etc.

Yep, they're wrong though. The American kept the Big NCAA credits.

I thought the Big East bought the name and the history, but the American kept the money and credits.

I always like the one that they haven't lost two games in a row since 1993.

There was one quirky one I liked because it's a "you'd never guess this in a millions years" stat. A few years ago there were only three schools that Geno had a losing record against, one of which was Stanford. He's now played them enough times to go over .500, so now there are only two.

One of them is La Salle, which he is 0-3 against. Obviously all in the early years.
The other is an 0-1 record against US International, a school which no longer exists, meaning that even if he got La Salle to play a few times, it would be impossible to have a .500 or better record against everyone.

US International's claim to fame on the men's side: Kevin Bradshaw holds the NCAA DI single-game scoring record with 72 points -- in a game his team lost by 46. USIU and Loyola Marymount played four of the five highest scoring games in NCAA history in those Gathers/Kimble years. That one ended 186-140.

Can be traced back to scrimmaging with the men's team on first night, IMO. Builds toughness.

US International? Isn't that the school Eddie Murphy says he attends in Coming to America? lol

It's mojo theft, and should be banned.

You somehow continue to consistently astound me year after year Gurley. Just an insane fountain of knowledge. I question whether you do anything else but study college basketball.

It's unfortunate the deleterious effect that game has on the men's team. It really is a sacrifice for the good of the University. Although at some point, haven't the women benefited enough?

Just the name.

Maybe he attended UNC. Don't they have that as a major

The Casual fan likes this. I will be brief.

 

[Huskygamble19]

It just goes to show that despite being stuck in the AAC, it doesn't hurt the team overall. they still recruit the best players because of excellence of the program that Geno has instilled.

 

[BlueWhiteKid]

All 110 of those wins have also been by double digits.

I don't think Bradshaw is correct. Frank Selvy has the record with 100 points .

 

[Gurleyman]

Selvy did it against a non-DI school. But I should have written "record against a DI opponent" to be technically accurate. "DI scoring record" implies the person doing the scoring and not the opponent.

No big feat, I've score 100 multiple times. Granted it was golf not basketball
