Hey everyone, just trying to settle a discussion here. Does anyone know which college basketball team holds the record for the most consecutive wins? I'm super interested in learning about this. Thanks for your help!
Sure, happy to help settle your discussion! The NCAA record for the most consecutive wins in college basketball is held by the UCLA Bruins. They accomplished this remarkable feat under the guidance of Coach John Wooden, one of the most decorated coaches in college basketball.
The Bruins won an astonishing 88 consecutive games between 1971 and 1974. This incredible streak included three full perfect seasons and parts of two others. It's a record that remains unrivaled in men's college basketball and stands as a testament to the prowess and consistency of those UCLA teams.
However, just to add slightly more context, it's important to mention that while this record still stands in men's basketball, it was surpassed in women's college basketball. The University of Connecticut women's team under Coach Geno Auriemma won 111 consecutive games from 2014 to 2017. Just a fun fact if your discussion includes women's basketball too!
