I just received word that the NCAA tournament games at Gampel Pavilion do count towards UConn's home winning streak. As a result, the Huskies home streak is at 68 games and not 63 which was the number going by the parameters of the Big East tournament games at the XL Center and NCAA tournament games at either Gampel or the XL Center do not count.

What this means is that if UConn beats Ohio State on Sunday, the game against Florida State on Dec. 21 at the XL Center will not only be for the NCAA basketball - men's or women's - record 89 straight victories but the Huskies will tie the NCAA Division I women's basketball home winning streak record currently joined by Tennessee (from 1991-96) and UConn (2000-04).
