Message: [QUOTE="YKCornelius, post: 5336396, member: 9864"] On an interesting note, the NCAA Record Book lists the Top 25 "Winningest Teams Over the Past Five Years", both by total number of wins and by percentage. These lists follow the Top 50 Division 1 Winningest Teams of all-time, where UConn is #2 in both total victories (to Tennessee) and winning percentage (to FGCU). Taking into account last season, the South Carolina Gamecocks continue to top both of the "Past Five Years" lists, with an impressive 170-12 record and .934 winning percentage. UConn is second in victories over the same span (157) and third in winning percentage (.877). FGCU is third in wins (148) and second in percentage (.886). However, as impressive as Dawn's program has been over the past five seasons, it doesn't come close to what UConn did over a similar five year stretch from 2012-13 to 2017-18, when the Huskies went [B]188-3 [/B]for a [B].984[/B] winning percentage. But if we only consider that five year stretch, we lose a little bit of the shock and awe that made some people opine that "UConn is bad for basketball". Going a step further and increasing that aperture just a little bit more, we see that between 3/23/13 and 1/02/19 the Huskies' record reflected an unbelievable [B]205 wins against just 3 losses[/B] [B](.986)[/B], with[B][I] [U]all three of those losses coming in overtime[/U][/I][/B]. Imagine what the record books would show if UConn wasn't decimated by injuries for most of Paige's career. [/QUOTE]
