UConn stats... Nat. Championships and Geno vs Dawn, Kim, Muffet & Tara...

[DavidinNaples]

Useless trivia because we are all bored and waiting on the season to start.
Only five WBB coaches have won a WBB National Championship in the last 10 tournaments. (Tourny in 2020 was canceled due to covid)
Here are the last 10 NC games:
2025 - UConn beat South Carolina
2024 - South Carolina beat Iowa
2023 - LSU beat Iowa
2022 - South Carolina beat UConn
2021 - Stanford beat Arizona
2020 - no tournament
2019 - Baylor beat Notre Dame
2018 - Notre Dame beat Miss. State
2017 - South Carolina beat Miss. State
2016 - UConn beat Syracuse
2015 - UConn beat Notre Dame
So, Geno won 3, Dawn Staley won 3, Kim Mulkey won 2 at different schools, Muffet and Tara won 1 each in those 10 years.
(Note- If you go back 12 years, Geno picks up 2 more.)

What about total NC's per coach, over coaching career.
Geno has 12.
Kim has 4. (two schools)
Dawn has 3.
Tara has 3.
Muffet has 2.
So Geno has 12 and the other four have 12 combined.

Congrats Geno..! Stay tuned for more useless trivia.
Go Huskies..!!

Along the same lines, Geno, Dawn and Kim are the only active coaches with NCAA titles since 2007.

Brenda Frese won it with Maryland in 2006, and she is the only other active women's coach with a National title.

Not to worry. By April, Geno will have one more than the other four combined.

Not to worry. Geno is THE SUPER OUTSTANDING COACH OF ALL TIME!!!!!! I think it.s safe to say he has MORE individual records than ALL BB coaches of all time. His teams have more individual records than all other teams. And the players have more records than any other teams. Uising the word MOST again. will NEVER be broken and many are growing bigger every season. GENQ is that once in a life time that comes along and changes the world. GO GENO!!!!! GO HUSKIES!!!!!!!!

Yikes! Don't do that! The "Duke Invitational" didn't work out too well for them in 1999.

Exactly. There’s no reason to be THAT outspoken about it no matter how confident you are imo. Bad mojo.

I was in Tampa. There obviously was a chance for Duke to be the first double champion, men and women. On Sunday night I asked someone who had won the women’s game and they said Duke. Thankfully it turned out Purdue had won. That’s the only thing I like about Carolyn Peck. Haha. And then some local High Schoolers after seeing my UConn hat started in on how Duke was going to destroy the Huskies. Obviously they were just being jerky kids and trying to get a reaction because I doubt they really cared who won but you could also tell that they had fallen for the media talk of the Duke invitational and coronation and believed it. There was no reason to interact with them except to smile and say, “we’ll see”.
