Rapid Reaction: UConn Makes History with Unprecedented Fourth Straight Title

The UConn women’s basketball team had already reached a historic level of dominance, but on Tuesday the Huskies completed a four-year mission no other team had accomplished: Four straight titles.
Led by head coach Geno Auriemma program’s illustrious resume continues to grow, and UConn has become a pipeline for WNBA stars — several of whom talked to WNBA.com to try to put the dynasty in perspective.
The mind-blogging numbers:
- 11 titles in the past 22 years under Auriemma
- 38-0 record in 2015-16, their sixth perfect season
- 75 straight wins, second most all-time behind their 90-game streak
- Only John Wooden’s UCLA Bruins won more consecutive titles (7) in Division I college basketball
Here’s how the basketball world reacted on Twitter Tuesday night:
