UAB owns nations longest winning streak
Jerod HaaseSunday, the Liacouras Center at Temple University erupted in cheers, as the final buzzer sounded, students and fans rushed onto the court. The last undefeated team in D-1 college basketball had fallen. The Temple Owls had just upset No.8 SMU. The aftershocks were felt all the way in Birmingham, Alabama. Why? Because the UAB Blazers, winners of 14 straight games, now own the longest winning streak in college basketball.
“It is the longest streak in the country” Said UAB Head Coach Jerod Hasse “But with the team you know once we set the home record streak, I said that’s the last time we’re going to talk about streaks this year.”
