Zipped Up: Akron No Longer Among Schools With Streaks of 20-Win Seasons
June 5th, 2020 - 12:00
The most ardent college hoops observer probably didn't realize Akron zipped along as one of only four NCAA Division I schools posting more than 20 victories throughout the past decade. After Memphis and Pittsburgh fell off the consecutive 20-win list five seasons ago and Ohio State bowed out four years ago, the Zips posted a losing mark two campaigns ago, leaving Gonzaga and bluebloods Duke and Kansas as the three institutions notching more than 20 triumphs more than 20 seasons in a row (including best and worst campaigns during their streaks):
School | Years | Coach(es) | Best Record (Season) | Worst Record (Season) |
---|---|---|---|---|
Kansas | 31 | Roy Williams and Bill Self | 34-2 (1996-97) | 23-10 (1998-99) |
Duke | 24 | Mike Krzyzewski | 37-2 (1998-99) | 22-11 (2006-07) |
Gonzaga | 23 | Dan Monson and Mark Few | 36-1 (2016-17) | 23-11 (2006-07) |
