Geno Auriemma and the UConn Huskies women’s basketball team look to tie the 88-game NCAA winning streak record, set by the late, great John Wooden and the 1971-1974 UCLA Bruins men’s team, against #11 Ohio State at Madison Square Garden on Sunday at noon Mountain Time. The game will be broadcast on ESPNU and ESPN3.
If the Huskies win, they’ll go for their record-breaking 89th straight win against #15 Florida State at Hartford’s XL Center on Tuesday at 5pm MST. That game would be aired on ESPN2, assuming UConn’s streak is intact heading into it.
P.S. A possible omen? Look who’s ranked #9 in the AP poll: the UCLA women’s team. And look how many points they have: 666. Husky #PANIC?
P.P.S. By the way… if the Huskies’ streak reaches 92 — which would require, among other things, a victory at #2-ranked Stanford on December 30, for win number 91 — the potential 93rd straight win would at the Joyce Center against #17 Notre Dame on January 8. Wake up the streak-breaking echoes?
Go Ohio State! Save Woodens record against those upstart fake Huskies 😉
Also, what does #9 UCLA have to do with anything?
UCLA … John Wooden …
Oh…right…yeah sorry, its Friday, last day of work before vacation, my brain is a little unfocused today 😀
Heh.
