Dan Hurley made a passing reference to this during his press conference after the Texas game, but UConn MBB is currently on its second-longest winning streak ever at the arena formerly known as the Hartford Civic Center with 22 straight wins.
The record is 33 wins between 1993 and 1997.

Because the state of Connecticut doesn’t want to provide rail service to Norwich, they claim it would cost around $650 million to provide 13.6 miles of rail service.
I propose it can be 3x the length and cost $140 million to do.

A year ago, there were 31 non-con games between ranked teams in men's CBB. The year before that, 28.
We're ALREADY at 36 this season. And could hit 50 before the NCAA tourney.
This is maybe the best start to a season ever. And it needs to be acknowledged now so it can be repeated moving forward.

College basketball just had its best November ever. This needs to be the scheduling standard moving forward
