Zipped Up: Akron No Longer Among Schools With Streaks of 20-Win Seasons

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)
