There are so many numbers associated with Geno Auriemma's and Chris Dailey's time at UConn that simply boggle the mind.

On Tuesday they go after their 1,000th career win. Before I get to a chart that will run with my lengthy story in tomorrow's paper, here's something to consider - when Auriemma won his 200th game back in 1995, he had 81 losses. He currently sits at 135 meaning that if UConn beats Oklahoma on Tuesday at Mohegan Sun Arena, UConn will be 800-54 since reaching win No. 200. Here's the breakdown 100 wins at a time

100-53 (Win No. 100 came on Dec. 31, 1990 against Iowa State)
100-28 (Win No. 200 came on Jan. 2, 1995 against Pittsburgh)
100-5 (Win No. 300 came on Nov. 29, 1997 against Rhode Island)
100-9 (Win No. 400 came on Dec. 10, 2000 against Illinois)
100-4 (Win No. 500 came on Apr. 6, 2003 against Texas)
100-17 (Win No. 600 came on Dec. 31, 2006 against Sacred Heart)
100-6 (Win No. 700 came on Nov. 27, 2009 against Hofstra)
100-7 (Win No. 800 came on Mar. 6, 2012 against Notre Dame)
100-5 (Win No. 900 came on Feb. 3, 2015 against Cincinnati)

As impressive as those numbers are, a win on Tuesday would mean Auriemma needed 101 games to go from 900 to 1,000 wins.

It was all part of his master plan, right? After the win at DePaul, I asked Auriemma what he viewed as attainable milestones when he got the job at UConn.

"Beating Providence and Villanova over the course of the season and maybe finish in the top four in the conference, go from ninth to fourth," Auriemma said. "I thought if we could get to that point that given with what we had to work with that would be a lot of success. I used to check sometimes every team's record against us or Big East record and I said, OK we just need to win more games than Boston College and if we could do that, it would be great. Where we are sitting right now was not a part of the plan by any stretch  of the imagination."
