I ask Michael this question off the -- minute ago and then -- theoretically ask you to all of you at same time Celtics are not on tonight by tomorrow night home against the sixers. Bruins are not on tonight. They don't play until Thursday. No NFL football tonight.
Given that landscape. Will you do vote two minutes. There watching UConn women's basketball tonight on ESPN two I've.
Watched the most I've watched UConn this year or watch a great deal there great game against Baylor. How Baylor had a chance to win in the -- had the final shot a bank. I'm listed in. The street continued against Baylor so that's that's the last time -- watch them. With any kind of seriousness. Probably a little.
I might try to watch the end you know -- when they and and I don't think Florida State has a chance tonight I think they will they will win their eighty ninth straight tonight and break. John wouldn't UCLA record of 88 consecutive victories. I'll probably try to see the end of it just to see what you know what it's like on the court all the stuff I wish it were separated though honestly I don't know us unpopular thing to say. It sounds sexist it's not. Completely different game. Completely different game. Different challenges in men's basketball. As opposed to women's basketball obviously their respect. The women's game agreed deal. But you know you're you're comparing John -- to record verses. As -- record and I just don't think it's that it's not the same thing and incredible accomplishment by -- or Emma and UConn. But you see the the similarities between. UConn 2010. And John Wooden UCLA. Nineteen whatever it was made had 88 straight games the one thing I would say is that. I think 571 -- for I think the.
Quality of the of the opposition. Was decidedly different for UCLA. I mean I think they have more opportunities to lose games as dominating as regular as great as they work right there were more chances for teams. But when UConn you know steamrolled everybody. I think of the 88 wins I saw some silly number the other day. Like eighty of them have been by double digits of the that did they not only when they don't just win by by single digits they went by -- lot. -- It it would be considered a a shocking upset when they lose and go to you know keep saying -- will probably lose this year -- on -- and I I would say it was it was more impressive what UCLA did because there were more opportunities for teams. On a somewhat more level playing field pull off the upset and beat UCLA. Basically -- you mentioned Baylor bet that's a good example of a team that could of.
had an opportunity to do it. I guess if you just look at the that you look at the competition. That -- UConn. Part of the reason the competition. I'll -- I'll -- 25% in the recent competition has no chance there's because they do a good job of recruiting play out. The stores there the other 75%. And this is something. That geno would agree with. Pat -- would agree with. All the top coaches and players in women's he would agreement. Got to be more. It's gotta be a more competitive more level playing field. -- The women's game is not up to that level yet where you have. The top 25 is truly a top 25.
Right what it is is the top three and then a hole which people with a lot top 25. That's -- still to -- ultimate blow outs for between teams that are supposed to be pretty good you know you got it. I tonight Florida is number fourteen ranked. -- It's warning at their fourteen don't want okay so by the way I don't wanna make it sound like -- women's basketball is just the SPN's been crumbling all day and I -- come up on the screen. They're ranked twenty UConn obviously number one. -- as as a text to point out I've I've ever watched a minute of Florida State women's basketball and other than tonight nor well. I just know that. They -- no chance to beat this team tonight with -- ninth win sit there staring UConn in the face they'll probably win by that want to roll they probably.
