Man I envy kansas fans, the KU basketball team is good as a perennial contender, and nowadays the KC Chiefs are very good and looking to build a dynasty.

2008-2022. That's the same time frame for the UConn's women Final Four run lol. 14 straight freaking Final Fours. Absurd. 6 Titles in there lol. Parity in the women's game doesn't exist.

Missouri doesn't own sports, but they may own Kansas fans.

The parity seems to be getting better in the women’s game. Women’s game just makes my eyes bleed trying to watch it.

I mean have you looked at the John wooden decade at ucla? 7 straight titles. Doubt that ever gets close to being matched. Dude lost 5 total games in 7 seasons.

Yes, we're all aware of UCLA's success.

But, they only had to win 4 games to win a title. And they're often playing teams like long Long Beach State or New Mexico State in the Sweet 16. UConn has won 4+ games in the tournament for 14 consecutive years.

And for most of that 14 straight only about 10 schools in the country devoted much resources at all to womens basketball. Also no one and done. Imagine if duke and Kentucky could have had their stacked recruiting classes of players staying for 3-4 years. You may hade a roster with 12 first round picks

Obviously continuity helps. But, 5-star kids aren't committing to blue bloods to come off the bench. If guys were staying for 3-4 years, we wouldn't be landing 3-4 top 20 kids every year.

My main point, though, is that 14 year streak is absolutely outrageous.
