The University of Connecticut has been the standard for women’s college basketball for decades. Their 111-game winning streak that lasted from 2014 to 2017 is the jewel in their crown.
Ever wonder just how consistent UConn was at their peak? How about being ahead at halftime for 86 consecutive games? That’s right—from 2011 to 2013, the Huskies never trailed after the first 20 minutes. It was a clinic in preparation, concentration, and execution. Coach Auriemma’s team was laying it on the opponents early, making them run from the very beginning.
Brittney Griner was a one-woman block party at Baylor. Towering at 6-foot-8 with an absurd wingspan, she swatted away 748 shots during her college career—almost 200 more than the next closest player.
Geno Auriemma became the all-time winningest coach in NCAA basketball history on Nov. 20, 2024, when UConn defeated Fairleigh Dickinson, win No. 1,217. That figure surpassed Stanford’s Tara VanDerveer and added another example to his unparalleled resume: 12 national championships, six perfect seasons, and a checklist of All-Americans and WNBA legends.
Courtney Paris was a rebounding machine at Oklahoma. She pulled down an absurd 2,034 rebounds in her career. Paris becomes the lone player—male or female—to record 2,000 points and 2,000 boards in NCAA history.
Before flashy dimes were social media highlights, Suzie McConnell-Serio was piling up assists like there was no tomorrow at Penn State. She recorded 1,307 assists in four years—an NCAA mark that remains unbroken.
Caitlin Clark made college hoops must-see TV. She did not simply score—she bombed it from the logo, burned defenders, and wrote new pages in the NCAA scoring record books. With 3,951 points and 548 made three-pointers, Clark established a new standard for what a high-volume, high-efficiency scorer in the contemporary age can be.
