It just total apples and oranges. If there's some guy who wins 90 NCAA games of chess in a row, does he break the record?

By the same token, they need at least 30 more wins to tie the record. Cael Sanderson won 119 wrestling matches in a row.

Correction, Dan Gable won 181 matches in a row, so sit back folks, it's going to be a while.

Agree. It's just a made-up record by ESPN hyping a show that they wanted to get viewers for. The win streak applies only and solely to Womans NCAA D1 basketball. You can't compare it to D2 or D3 Womans basketball, let alone Mens D1, D2, or D3. Or junior college. Or NAIA. Or high school basketball. Or competitive Grade 1 basketball.

Hell, none of 'em are close to the Globetrotter's record for consecutive wins anyway.

Kudos to the UConn ladies. But they hold the record for Womens D1 basketball only.

Depends? Did he have to play against women?

Maybe Tony knows, or if I wasn't too lazy today, I'd google it...But I believe I heard UNC womens soccer had a streak of over 100 wins in a row with over 15 national championships in the last 20-30 years?
