The record fell. The basketball players of USK Prague won the 257th league game in a row
As expected, USK Prague’s basketball players outclassed Slovanka 126:71 in the 14th league round and set a new competition record with their 257th victory in a row. The women from Prague definitively surpassed Gambrinus Brno’s previous record from 1998 to 2007. American center Brionna Jones contributed 35 points and 10 rebounds to the reigning champions’ 12th triumph this year.
The sixteen-time champions last lost in the league on April 30, 2013, when they lost at home to Brno (then IMOS Brno) 72:73 in the final series. From that moment on, they ruled without hesitation for about ten years, and now they will push their own maximum with each additional win.
Brno’s streak of 256 wins lasted from February 1998 to February 2007 and was punctuated by two losses against USK Prague. With this record, Brňany narrowly surpassed the performance of the player from Ružomberok, who won 253 games in a row from 1995 to April 2003.
