Message: [QUOTE="visitingcock, post: 5103966, member: 6872"] [B]THE POWER “DECADES:” UConn: 2009-2018[/B] It is highly doubtful that Geno’s best ( not only) ten year run will ever be rivaled much less equaled. 6 championships and four final fours is insane. 340 wins may be the third best ten year number. The bluest of the blue bloods. This run, of course, fell in the midst of the 12 straight final four run. [B]Tennessee: 1989-1998. [/B]Pat put together 4 championships, a runnerup, 2 final fours, an Elite 8 and two sweet 16’s along with 314 wins in the ten year period. Four other championships and other runner ups fell outside this stretch [B]Louisiana Tech1979-1988. [/B]Sonja Hogg and Leon Barmore put together 3 champion-ships, 2 runners ups, 2 final fours and 2 elite 8s with 322 wins on the cusp of the AIAW / NCAA era. The only dynasty of wbb was a tournament fixture 28 times and continuously until the 21st century. [B]South Carolina 2015-2024. [/B]Dawn is still possibly within her ten year power streak with 3 titles, 3 final fours, an elite 8, two-sweet 16s and a 30 win ( no tournament) season in an era of 319 total wins. The steak could be improved this year only by winning the championship again or by finishing number 2. [B]Baylor 2010-2019 [/B]Kim’s ten year effort showed 2 national championships, one final four, 5 elite 8s and two sweet 16s with an excellent compilation of 341 wins. Of course, Kim has one Baylor championship that fell outside the streak along with her more recent banner at LSU. [B]Stanford 1988-1997.[/B], Tara claimed 2 of her three championships in the streak, 4 final fours, 2 elite 8s and two sweets 16s. Although they did not have more than 300 wins during the ten year power period, you can’t leave the present winningest coach in wbb off the list of blue bloods. [B]Notre Dame 1910-2019: [/B]although Muffet had only one 1 championship during her best ten years, she reached THE GAME five other times in the period. The phenomenal accomplishment that was blunted only by Geno’s championships. The 349 wins during the period was especially powerful in gaining 1 championship, 5 runner ups, 2 final four and a two sweet16s. Muffet had another ‘ ship from before the streak began. I have not checked any of the Non- champions or once champions for ten year runs. [/QUOTE]
