Overview

  • The Week 16 poll marked Auriemma’s 655th appearance in the AP women’s Top 25, surpassing Tara VanDerveer for the all-time lead.
  • UConn is 29-0 and remained the unanimous No. 1 with all 31 first-place votes in the latest AP rankings.
  • The Huskies are the last unbeaten team in Division I and have a 45-game winning streak dating to last season.
  • Auriemma’s tenure spans 41 seasons with a 1,279-165 record and 12 national championships anchoring the program’s longevity.
  • With Georgetown and St. John’s left before the Big East tournament and no other ranked teams in the league, UConn’s path appears favorable as analysts project a No. 1 overall NCAA seed.
