NCAA Record broken

Parity does matter. It's why this streak isn't as impressive as Wooden's streak.

Do not misconstrue - I don't believe that what UConn has achieved is even remotely as impressive as what Wooden's team did. That was a phenomenal achievement and one that I probably won't witness in what is left of my lifetime. I never said nor intimated that women's basketball is even remotely on par with men's. However, the fact that I believe that what Wooden's team did is vastly more impressive is also irrelevant. Evidently the NCAA thinks the same as this is a headline from their website:
UConn eclipses UCLA with 89th win
Subheadline: Moore's career-high 41 leads three Huskies in double figures
I do know that if I'm on The Million Dollar Question and they ask me 'what college basketball team has the most consecutive wins', I'm going to say UConn and not the Mt Padgett Dexters.
