Now that the University of Connecticut women’s basketball team has steamrolled to another national title and a 39-0 record, the question has to be asked: Where do they rank among the greatest college basketball teams of all time? Consider these tidbits. They are only the 11th Division 1 college basketball eam (men or women) to go undefeated; They’re the first since the UConn women did it in 2002. They won all 39 of their games by double digits. Their closest margin of victory in the tournament was 19 points (against Arizona State and Stanford). Those are crazy numbers, and to me they’re in the conversation for best college basketball team ever.
