UConn tops Texas, nears nonconference record

In Monday's Empire Classic title game at Madison Square Garden, No. 5 UConn posted its 22nd straight win over a nonconference opponent by a double-digit margin, securing the championship with an 81-71 victory over the No. 18 Texas Longhorns.

According to ESPN Stats & Information, North Carolina's 23 straight double-digit wins over nonconference opponents from Nov. 2008 to Nov. 2009 is the longest such streak in the past 40 years.

UConn's next two games are at home against Manhattan on Friday and New Hampshire next Monday. Win both by double digits, and the Huskies have the record.

Why is this listed as off topic (OT)?

Anyway, I think this is a fascinating streak, so improbable! At the end of last nights game, I was rooting for the margin to stay at 10, and we just made it.
