That’s how close college basketball came to losing out on two of the most impressive streaks in sports history.

Under the direction of Auriema, UConn won its 91st straight game in an 88-48 decision against Southern Methodist on Saturday afternoon. That mark surpassed the previous record for longest winning streak in college basketball history, which was also set by the Huskies from 2008-11.

That’s two and a half years of pure dominance that has the potential to continue for quite a while. The number 91 in the win column is impressive enough, but let’s take a look at some other eye-popping statistics to come out of this stretch:

790: Days since UConn last lost a game. The Huskies’ streak started with a 96-60 win over Creighton in Storrs, Connecticut on Nov. 23, 2014. UConn would finish 38-1 that banner season.

89: Double-digit wins during the streak. Yes, that means just two of UConn’s past 91 victories have even come close to coming down to the wire. There haven’t been too many stressful games for the Huskies faithful to watch.

67: Consecutive wins in AAC play. UConn hasn’t lost in conference play since the AAC was formed in 2013-14 — a year before the winning streak started.

65: Largest margin of victory during the streak. As seen two spots above, UConn hasn’t played in too many close games. But its biggest blowout came just five days ago in a 103-37 shellacking against No. 20 South Florida. That resounding victory gave the Huskies their 90th straight victory, tying the record.

46: Win streak before UConn’s last loss. The Huskies’ last defeat came on Nov. 17, 2014 in an overtime thriller against long-time rival Stanford. That ended a respectable 46-game run. Do the math, and that gives UConn a 137-1 record over its past 138 games.
