If parity in womens' ball today was equal to the parity of mens' ball in the 70s, I'd consider this streak as equivalent. But it's not.

Just for fun, out of boredom, I checked some numbers.

The 11 championships between 1960 and 1980 that UCLA did not win were divided among 10 teams. Only Cincinnati won two. The 13 championships that UConn did not win from 1990-2010 are divided among only 8 teams; with Stanford winning twice and Tennessee winning 6. If I go back just three more years, we get two more TN titles.

Final four: 11 years, 1965 through 1975. 28 teams made the mens' Final Four.
2000 - 2010. 18 teams made the womens' FF.
