It’s a remarkable achievement and proof of one of the greatest dynasties in the history of sports. Even more impressive is the fact that 98 of these 100 wins have come by double-digits, and 56 of them were decided by 40-plus points.
The feat was applauded from all corners of the sports world, including praise from NBA legend Kobe Bryant.
WOW #100 @UConnWBB one of the greatest coaches/leaders we have ever had in sports. Keep em rollin Coach Geno 🙌

We shouldn’t expect the streak to end anytime soon, and there’s plenty left for this season’s Huskies to accomplish. The streak could reach 150 if UConn reaches the Final Four.
