Eyes on Vestal: Bearcats on the Losing-Streak Clock

Binghamton now has the honor. Not exactly the honor you want, but it is an honor. The Bearcats now have the longest losing streak in the nation. A streak of 22 loses (21 this season and the loss in the conference tournament to end last season). Towson, who set the NCAA record for 41 straight losses ended their run this weekend with a win over UNC-Wilmington 66-61. The previous record was 34 loses by Sacramento State.

So now, the AE and Bingo have the honor. Here is a breakdown of some of the events:

Last Victory: March 3, 2011 - UMBC 91-65 (AE Tournament)

Last Home Win: January 12, 2011 - UMBC 83-75

Last Road Win (non-AE Tournament): February 16, 2011 - Hartford 77-47

Start of the streak: March 5, 2011 - Vermont 46-57 (AE Tournament Quarterfinals)

States traveled during streak: 8 (NY, NJ, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, Maryland, Maine, Missouri)

Despite all the loses, you have the admire how Bingo is trying to rebuild their program. They are academically coming back and are still getting fans in the seats (had over 3k in the stands in their last home game). UnrankedAE.com is hoping to see the streak end soon. We wish Mark Macon and his team all the luck in breaking the streak. Next up for the Bearcats: Stony Brook (on Long Island) and home against BU.
