Two more NCAA records - How boring!

[EdSaid]

I was scanning through the NCAA record book. Found this one which I think is important, opponent Field Goal Percentage. Baylor has lead the nation the past five season holding their opponents to low 30's for the season. Kim Mulkey believes in defense, she also had the personnel to play defense.


Season Team FG FGA Pct.
2017 Baylor 720 2,304 31.3
2018 Baylor 694 2,138 32.5
2019 Baylor 718 2,258 31.8
2020 Baylor 540 1,740 31.0
2021 Baylor 593 1,817 32.6

UCONN has been right behind them the past five seasons. Team defense wins championships.

2017 35.1
2018 33.5
2019 34.2
2020 33.1
2021 33.7

Texas had the record for most consecutive conference wins until last year - they had 124 wins from 1981-1990 in the Southwestern Conference and if including postseason games 143. Uconn passed both numbers last year with 136 and 161.
Uconn owns the three longest win streaks in D1, the three longest road win streaks, and the two longest home win streaks.

Interestingly FGCU owns the D1 record for highest winning percentage in D1 at .841 - they joined D1 19 seasons ago so have yet to have a down period. Tenn is second with .799 and Uconn is third at .798. If Uconn goes 36-3 this year they would end up at .800 and move into second place.

Of course that changes a little bit if you look at winning percentage by Coach:
