    Since nobody else has posted about this, I will: The UConn winning streak.

    And yeah, their coach is kind of a loose cannon, but he's put together an amazing program.

    yeah, i think just because they are girls, it doesnt change the fact that, they won all those times in a row.

    Is it fair to compare them? Heck yes it is. Everything about the game they play is nearly identical except the women's ball is smaller and there is no backcourt violation, but for the most part the playing fields are leveled. UCONN's streak simply lasted longer. Although in UCLA's defense, the men's game probably has a lot more parity compared to the ladies where it seems like there is a handful of great teams and the rest are scattered around, definitely not as many upsets.

    Hawes, are you sure there's no backcourt violation in the women's game? Never knew that haha. But yeah what they are doing is VERY impressive, don't care if they're girls. It's impressive

    I hope it continues so all the Nay-Sayers will shut up. It is very impressive at what the coach and the girls have done so far. Can you compare the 2, yes and no, Same game just a little differant.Also remember UCLA was playing without a shot clock. All in all the record is monserous and will probably never be beat just like John Woodens for UCLA.
    Any bets he gets an offer from a mens College?

    Those "girls" straight ball, and are not finished winning  after breaking UCLA's record. To bad sports are so male dominant.

    Yeah, he was tripping with that Scottie Pippen reference. Nowhere as good as him, BUUUTTT, I think he can be, if he plays like a man. In Euroleague, you are taught more about finesse, and the fundamentals. He needs to put a little more muscle on, ...

    Thanks Siccolo, not to knock on Bosh. I think if he was the number one option he would go back to being a beast. I miss making jokes about him playing for the RAPTORS. He is a great player.
