You can count Washington Huskies men's basketball coach Lorenzo Romar - a Los Angeles native and former UCLA men's basketball assistant coach - among those who once considered UCLA's streak of 88 consecutive wins from 1971-1974 unbreakable.

"I never thought anyone, men or women, would come close to tying that record," said Romar, when asked about the #1 Connecticut Huskies women's basketball team beating the #10 Ohio State Buckeyes 80-51 yesterday in the Maggie Dixon Classic at Madison Square Garden to tie UCLA's record at 88 games. "So it's pretty phenomenal that something like that happens."
