UCONN Women Tie All-Time Winning Streak Record ...
Shortest Winning Streak (boys, girls, men, women, high school, college, professional, town, state, country, international, playground, basketball, hockey, field hockey, lacrosse, baseball, softball, football, soccer, volleyball, croquet, tiddilywinks, horse, pig, et alibi): One win (Villanova).

No debate on this one.

Geno Auriemma, regarding the streak, "It is what is is".

Unfortunately, I think that the streak will be broken after their next game.

If they win, it will be extended.

Can't win less than one in a row. Many teams hold this alltime record.

Maybe the Guinness people will list it as "Shortest Winning Streak"?
If it's a winning streak, it will be extended with the next win.

Why couldn't the fewest consecutive wins be zero?

You can't imagine how difficult it is to argue with someone much smarter than me.

Wait, can I not imagine it because I'm not smart? Hey, you can't insult me like that!

I can imagine how easy it is to find someone like that though.
