Connecticut won its 55th straight game on Saturday to set the NCAA Division I women's college basketball record for consecutive victories. Louisiana Tech originally set the record 21 years ago, winning 54 games in a row. The Lady Techsters were 34-0 in 1980-81 and then won their first 20 games of 1981-82. Louisiana Tech won the national championship in both seasons (AIAW and the first-ever NCAA women's title). Connecticut, which went 39-0 last season to win the 2002 NCAA title, improved to 16-0 this season with a win over Georgetown on Saturday. The Huskies put their streak on the line at Notre Dame on Monday (2 p.m. ET, ESPN2), and will face top-ranked and unbeaten Duke on Feb. 1 in Durham, N.C. A look at each team's winning streak:
