Another unreal stat is that the Huskies have only trailed 86 total minutes in the 71 game winning streak. Let's break that down. A math lesson here for those who aren't stellar with numbers- there are 40 minutes in a college basketball game, therefore, 71 games times the 40 minutes in each game is 2,840 total minutes played in the 71 game winning streak. So 2,840 minutes-the 86 minutes they've been behind is 2,754 minutes they've led during their 71 game winning streak. This is just an unreal feat to accomplish.
They are also 13-0 against top 10 teams during their streak. Some more math here, sorry but the only way for people to really see how great this streak is, is to throw silly numbers at you, 5.5% of their wins have been against top ten teams. This is including both the Big East Tournament as well as the NCAA tournament. And in these tournaments every game is a possibility to be upset, but UCONN has gone through this without a problem. Just a fact, UCONN is about to win it's 16th Big East tournament.
This team has beat up on opponents on average by 26.2 points. I can't even imagine the spreads for these games. UCONN must be giving up close to 30 points a game depending on who they are playing. It's just unreal for a college team to be a dynasty the way UCONN has been. I'm honestly hoping that they can continue to win and win and win so this streak goes into triple digits and set them apart from every other team in collegiate and professional sports, by far. They may be considered the "Evil Empire" of college basketball, but what girl wouldn't want to go to a program that doesn't lose? Don't worry I'll respond to anyone who cares to comment on that question.
