"My grandfather would have been thrilled. He would have been absolutely thrilled to see his streak broken by a women’s basketball team," the 47-year-old Wooden said. "He thought, especially in the last 10 years, that the best basketball was played at the collegiate level — and it wasn’t by the men."
Take that quote however you will, but I find it hard to argue against. Men, women, whatever… I only wonder how long this current streak will go on?
