Back-to-back losses

As UDFlyer23 posted in their thread Perspective, they noted that:

Not many programs can say that over the course of 2 years.

Now, comes the next part.

Only 1 team has gone LONGER than the Dayton Flyers since losing back-to-back games.

That's right, THE Dayton Flyers have the 2nd longest time since they have had back-to-back losses.

So, now, the question is, who has the longest time since their back-to-back losses!

9 teams are listed. 1 that is longer than Dayton, and the other 8 are the next shortest from Dayton.

Looks like that was a 4 game losing streak for UD...at Richmond, VCU, at Rhode Island, and SJU.

Figgie, you do realize that by starting this thread, you now will be held responsible if that streak ends tonight don't you?

Ha! When the Flyers make it a 3 game streak on Friday, though, I better be absolved of everything.

Edit: Because 2-in-a-row can be a "curse", but 3-in-a-row is a "problem".
