Whiny Coach of the week award goes to----
Of course, as the wins keep piling up, the questions about whether UConn's dominance is good for the sport will keep coming. The Huskies are 371-28 overall since the 1999-2000 season and have now played 222 consecutive games without allowing an opponent to shoot more than 50 percent from the field (Boston College was the last to do so, on March 8, 2004).
