UConn (13-0, 4-0 Big East Conference), the defending national champion, has not lost a game since an 80-76 defeat at then-No. 19 Tennessee on Feb. 6, and has won 51 straight against Big East opponents.

NEW ORLEANS -- Zion Williamson scored 24 points, including 10 straight in a decisive two-minute span of the fourth quarter, to power the New Orleans Pelicans to a 119-113 victory over the Dallas Mavericks, extending the Pelicans' season-long winning streak to five games.

New Orleans erased an 87-79 deficit after three quarters with a 38-19 run in the first 10:24 of the final quarter.
Drake Maye and the Patriots have a chance to extend their remarkable winning streak to 10 games - which would be the franchise's longest since 2015 - against the Giants on Monday night. That chance comes in prime time (their first "Monday Night Football" appearance since December 2022) and in their all-time sharpest uniforms (the Pat Patriot gear, obviously, worn from 1984-92).
Eight straight for the boys up north, ladies and gentlemen. This is the first time we've seen the Toronto Raptors embark on this long of a winning stretch, since back in the 2021-22 campaign, when they logged eight in a row from January 29 to February 10 of that year. Of course, at that time, the Raptors were just getting a taste of their soon to be crowned ROTY, Scottie Barnes, and still revelling in a core that featured Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, Gary Trent Jr., and OG Anunoby.
A Six Nations grand slam, plus Nations Championship victories against South Africa and Fiji and England would head to Argentina next July having equalled their record run of 18 wins, in pursuit of a ground-breaking No 19. Sounds simple put like that, but there's more chance of Steve Borthwick busting his best moves in England's next viral TikTok video than him entertaining any thought of record runs.
Can the Dolphins claw their way back into the playoff picture? We would probably be laughed off the internet if we discussed this a month ago -- but hear us out! The Dolphins have now strung together their first winning streak of the season and sit at 4-7 entering their Week 12 bye. They'll return from the bye with games against New Orleans and the New York Jets.
"That's what I want to do and what any corner wants to do," Gonzalez said. "You want to take away who they want to go to. Today it was Jeudy, my assignment, so just go out there and execute it and play team defense. "Shoutout to the front seven," he added. "They were getting back there and making it hard for the QB to throw the ball, so it all works together. It's not just one person covering or anything. It's all of us coming together and making plays together."
