UConn gets record 71st straight win
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
03/08/2010 - Hartford, CT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top-ranked Connecticut won its NCAA-record 71st consecutive game Monday, a 59-44 victory over No.6 Notre Dame in the semifinals of the Big East Tournament.
It is the longest winning streak in NCAA Division I women's basketball history, as the Huskies (32-0) surpassed their own record set from 2001-03. The only longer winning streak in NCAA Division I basketball history is the 88-game run UCLA had from 1971-1974.
But while Monday's victory was historic, it also included a scary moment in the final minute. Connecticut guard Caroline Doty was hit in the back of the neck by a Notre Dame player trying to get to the ball, and fell to the floor. Doty lay there for several minutes as medical staff attended to her, but eventually sat up and walked off under her own power.
The Huskies ended up winning by double digits, which they have done for all 71 games during this streak. However, they led by only three at halftime and were held to a season-low in points.
Tina Charles ended with 16 points and 17 rebounds in the victory, while Kalana Greene had 15 points and seven rebounds for Connecticut, which will play either West Virginia or Rutgers in the final.
Maya Moore finished with 11 points, 10 rebounds and six assists in the win.
Skylar Diggins had 10 points to pace the Irish (27-5).

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds
With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season. What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season. Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all. Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13). Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two. Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury. Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven. Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury. Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.
In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons. Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4. Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1). The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this. No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
