Wayland Baptist dominated women's basketball in the 50s | Lubbock Online | Lubbock Avalanche-Journal

Wayland Baptist dominated women's basketball in the 50s | Lubbock Online | Lubbock Avalanche-Journal:

"In light of Connecticut breaking UCLA's 88-game winning streak with a 93-62 victory against No. 22 Florida State on Tuesday, the New York Times ran a feature story headlined 'Before UConn, before UCLA, there was Wayland Baptist.'

The story reflects on the Flying Queens' 131-game winning streak from 1953-58."

Very few announcers got it right and talked about the DIVISION I record that was broken. Not the "basketball" record.
