UConn Women's Basketball Team

The UConn women’s basketball team is destroying their competition so much that they are on a 70 game winning streak. You would have never guessed that a women’s basketball team has a winning streak that high because you never hear about it. However, to give you a little trivia UConn already holds the record for the NCAA women’s basketball at 70 consecutive wins through 2001- 2003, but the big question is what will happen if the UConn women’s basketball team surpasses the UCLA men’s basketball team that holds the NCAA record with 88 consecutive wins in a row. Will this UConn team see the big shoe contracts, get millions of dollars in the draft, or be remember at all? Two of these answers will be no, but the players that started this incredible run should be remember even if UConn does not surpass UCLA’s record.
All I am trying to say is that this team deserves a whole lot more recognition in the media than what they are getting now. Women’s basketball in general needs more recognition, but as a stepping-stone this team needs more. These women put on shorts just like the men, play with five players, and put the basketball in the hoop to determine a winner, but they can not get the recognition because they can not dunk or they use a team philosophy rather than having a one man team. These women are not playing hoping to win a big contract. These women are playing for the respect that one day they can look back and say that they had the longest winning streak in the whole NCAA. The UConn women’s basketball team can surpass their record setting-winning streak at 70 on Monday, March 8 in the Big East semi-finals. They are playing Notre Dame, which they beat by double digits two weeks ago. So, UConn is favored to win this game, as well as to win the women’s NCAA tournament. Best of luck to the UConn women’s basketball team in the NCAA tournament, and surpassing NCAA record of 88 wins.
