postheadericon Connecticut congressman praises Huskies for historic streak

Connecticut Rep. Joe Courtney (D) on Tuesday took to Twitter to praise the University of Connecticut Huskies women's basketball team for their record-tying winning streak.

The Huskies have won 88-straight games, matching the streak of John Wooden's legendary UCLA Bruins men's teams in the 1970s.

UConn is going for its record-breaking 89th straight win on Tuesday night against the 22nd-ranked Florida State Seminoles in Hartford, Conn.

Courtney tweeted:

Congratulations to UConn women’s basketball and coach Auriemma. Break that record tonight! http://youtu.be/59vObFHzaP8
