9 is a big number this year, and I just noticed a fact that if it was reported back in late December, I missed it.

With the win over Cal on Dec. 22, UConn went into 9th place as the all-time winningest WCBB program ahead of Tennessee State, and after the Golden Eagles tied UConn again 6 days later, UConn took over sole possession of 9th place for good with the win on Dec. 29 over USC.

UConn will stay in 9th for the rest of this year. Ohio State is next up on the hit list, and the Huskies have sliced a 28 game deficit down to 18 during this season. UConn might pass the Buckeyes next year, but after that it will be many years before they go by another team because both Stanford and Texas are the next teams after and were more than 50 ahead entering this season. Old-time smaller program greats like James Madison, ODU, and Stephen F. Austin are fading away, but after 92 years in the business (for JMU), they got a big padded head start.

Just checked and Uconn currently stand at 206 - 11 over the last 5+ seasons for a win percentage of .949. If Uconn win the next 3 games we will reach 209-11 and a .950 win percentage. The current NCAA period win percentage is .821 and in the 2000s (the last 14+ seasons since 1999-2000) the record is 506 - 39 a win percentage of .928.

As far as spans of seasons with the best record, there are a lot of Husky groups that have put together impressive results.

5-year records
(2006-7 t0 2010-11): 182-8
(2007-08 t0 2011-12): 183-9
(1999-2000 t0 2003-04): 175-9

And there are a couple of 5-year groups like the most recent one with 11 losses and 180+ wins. This year's team cannot be part of a top-3 group for a 5-year span, but if it goes undefeated it will be the best 6-year span in UConn history from 2008-09 to 2013-14, topping the current best of 2007-08 to 2012-13, which went 218-13.
