Message: [QUOTE="ucmiami2, post: 5125094, member: 13062"] Ya got to understand, to even reach 90 wins, you have to win back to back championships. To do it that way, you need to win the first one with a winning streak of 11 at least, then go 40-0, and then win your first 39 games (i.e. get to the championship game) the next year. Just as an aside, only two coaches have ever won the NCAA back to back Pat did it three time but but only once undefeated. And Geno did it six times, 5 times undefeated resulting in the 70, 90, and 111 game winning streaks. The first two winning streaks started with a season starting win. The 90 game streak started with back to back undefeated winning seasons. The 111 game streak started after an early season lost in a 38-1 NCAA champion, followed by an undefeated season, and then by a loss in the next seasons final four. (Uconn also has a 47 game winning streak that is the fifth longest in history part of an incredible stretch of 158-1 that included 4 NCAAs.) If you don't go back to back with NCAA championships, your longest streak is going to be 79 wins. The longest streak anyone not named Uconn has had is Louisiana Tech at 54 that includes one year pre-NCAA, Tennessee went for 46 (6 NCAA wins followed by 39-0, followed by 1-0 to start the next season.) The next longest is the just ended USC, and then 42 for Baylor with Griner who went 40-0 and then won their first two games the following year. Going perfect for a season is also really hard. There are currently ten teams that have done that in the history of NCAA D1, Uconn 6 times, and once each by Texas, Tenn, Baylor, and now USC. Only Uconn has ever won an NCAA after an undefeated season and they have done it 3 times. [/QUOTE]
