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.
