89 for UConn

Men or Women 89 straight wins is impressive.  Think what you want but this has to get some play.  It can be argued that this is a men's record, and the woman's game is not the same as the men's because the women play weaker competition or women aren't as good athletes or whatever. The UConn women and coach Geno Auriemma play a pretty strong schedule and I believe back when UCLA and John Wooden set the record of 89 wins, they predominate played west coast teams.  College athletes of any sexual orientation are still athletes and 89 straight is a feat within itself.  Men's and Woman's athletics are sometimes separated,  so keep UCLA's record for the men, and put it around the two UConn woman's streaks of 70 and 89 (and counting).  Geno Auriemma and his UConn lady Huskies already had a streak of 70 straight, the new streak is at 89 and counting.
