So how rare was it to win three straight road games in overtime?Written by: noreply@blogger.com (muwarrior92)This morning, CrackedSidewalks spoke to the NCAA statistics department, specifically former Marquette Athletic department employee Mark Bedics, who helped us gather some data on MU's recent feat of three straight road overtime victories.
The fine folks in the NCAA stats department ran some data and found the following:
In 2003, Cal State Fullerton played three consecutive overtime games and won them all, but they were not all on the road.
The record for overtime wins on the road is five, but they were not consecutive games.
The record for the most overtime wins regardless of home or away, is 11 wins. This was accomplished over several seasons.
The record for the most consecutive overtime games in a row is four. That's been accomplished twice, but both teams went 3-1 and the games were not all on the road.
So it looks like Marquette holds the record for most consecutive overtime wins on the road, but this was based on a quick search by the NCAA this morning. Nothing official...yet.
Road Warriors indeed.
