Subject: Temple Women's Team has Nation's Longest Winning Streak

Congrats to the 6th-seeded Temple Women's Hoop team on winning their 25th straight game today, beating Louisiana Tech in the 1st round of the NCAA Women's Tourney at Gampel Pavilion. The Owls have the nation's longest winning streak in women's college basketball - they haven't lost since Dec. 4th, 2004. They are 28-8 and I believe will play Rutgers next in the NCAA Tournament.

Too bad that will all come to an end when they play Rutgers. (NT) -- Smoochy, Mon March 21, 2005 11:11:50
- Smoochy, are you a Rutgers fan? (NT) -- J�Dete93, Mon March 21, 2005 12:14:40
  - J�Dete-I like Coach Stringer. I feel she is tough, a hard worker and doesnt mess around. Being from NJ, Rutgers sports have always been dismal for the most part. It is great to see Stringer landing the big recruits, and teaching these girls how to be winners. This team posted wins over #8 Tennessee, #3 Texas, #1 LSU in a 2 week span!! Temple beat them by 9 early in the season. I feel Womens Big East Basketball is alot tougher than the A-10. Its going to be a great game. (NT) -- Smoochy, Mon March 21, 2005 13:57:25
    - Coach Dawn Staley, the Olympic star, is putting together a powerhouse women's program at Temple. They have a bright future. (NT) -- Rambacker, Mon March 21, 2005 14:28:59
      - Staley is good, but Stringer is a pure teacher of the game with over 700 wins and 30 years experience. Only three other coaches I would consider better or in the same tier are Summitt, Conradt, and Auriema. (NT) -- Smoochy, Mon March 21, 2005 14:57:32
        You mean the coaches with all of the nat'l championships? I'd say they're definitely in the "same tier" as Stringer. (NT) -- Fred T., Mon March 21, 2005 16:44:13
        Id say Stringer is in the same tier as them despite her lack of national championships. (NT) -- Smoochy, Mon March 21, 2005 18:05:00
        I'm not comparing Dawn Staley to Stringer or any other coaches. I'm saying she is an up and coming young coach that has put Temple on the map very quickly and has a promising future. (NT) -- Rambacker, Mon March 21, 2005 22:21:34
    - Thanks for the response Smoochy. It is always interesting to find out what teams others have an allegiance to. Many of us did not grow up Fordham fans so it was only natural for us to root for someone else as long as they are not facing Fordham. Having grown up in Miami I am a big Hurricanes fan in all sports, but mainly football and baseball. They re-started their hoops team when I was high school so I did not follow them as much as the other two. (NT) -- J�Dete93, Mon March 21, 2005 21:55:27
