I know that most people are aware that UConn is one of the elite program's in women's college basketball, along with Tennessee. However, I'm not sure how many people are aware of the incredible streak that this team is on. After their win over Duke on Monday, UConn has now won 57 straight games. That by itself is very impressive. Any win streak over 10 games in any sport is difficult. But 57 wins in a row is almost impossible. However, that is not the most impressive thing about the streak. UConn has won each of these 57 games by at least 10 points, indicating that no team has even come close to challenging them. They recently defeated several top 10 teams by 30 points or more. They have an impressive collection of highly skilled athletes as well as a great coach. There is little doubt that they will shatter the previous top winning streak in women's basketball of 70, also held by UConn from 2001-2003. If you have a chance to watch them play on television, then take the time to do it. This is history in the making.
