30 - Consecutive wins by Clemson men's basketball team in the month of November before a 69-60 loss to Texas A&M in southern California on Thursday. Oliver Purnell's Tigers' squad dropped its opening game of the 76 Classic to the Aggies, but then recovered to beat Long Beach State and edge a highly regarded Butler team over the weekend. Clemson has now won 32 of its last 33 November games, although it's worth noting that the Aggies and Bulldogs were their first ranked opponents during that span.
9 - Years since the Tufts hockey team had won an invitational tournament, prior to the Jumbos' title at the Rutland Herald Invitational over the weekend. Tufts' offense flexed its muscles as the Jumbos defeated defending Div. III national champion Neumann on Saturday and beat Castleton in the championship game by identical 5-2 scores. The tournament crown was the team's first since the Coca-Cola Invitational in November of 2000.
282 - Consecutive games played by Brett Favre, tying him with former Vikings defensive lineman Jim Marshall for the NFL's most all-time by a non-kicker. Favre will break the record, assuming he takes the first snap at Arizona on Sunday. The Vikings quarterback has led his new team to a 10-1 record while enjoying the best statistical season of his career at the age of 40.
59 - More points allowed by the women's basketball team in the second half than in the first. The Jumbos have scored 133 points in each half over their first four games of the season, but have allowed their foes to net 148 points in the latter period (37 per game), despite holding them to a paltry 89 points (22.25 per game) in the opening 20 minutes of action.
10 - The Denver Nuggets' winning streak over the Minnesota Timberwolves before falling 106-100 in Denver on Sunday. The Timberwolves had just one victory coming into the game and had lost 15 consecutive contests, but they were able to reverse their fortunes by outscoring the Nuggets 56-36 in the second half after surrendering 40 points in the first quarter.
44 - Offensive rebounds through three games by the men's basketball team, which leads the NESCAC with an average of 14.67 rebounds on the attacking end per contest. However, the Jumbos have had trouble converting those rebounds into quality shot attempts and rank last in the NESCAC with a lowly 40.5 shooting percentage that has essentially negated their prowess on the boards.
