Stanford!?!?????
Those are all correct. The ESPN article said that Tara had more wins than all but five teams, but I can't find the fifth team. Louisiana Tech was ahead of her until recently, but they've been bad the last couple of years, and I think they are just shy of 1200. Texas has been doing well, but it had a fair number of wins to catch up. Otherwise, few teams are even in the neighborhood.
This list is from the end of 2022, Tennessee, UConn, and Stanford had already cleared 1203, and James Madison was only a handful of games away. I don't think LaTech has won 29 games the last couple seasons, or Texas 46.

So I think Tara has more wins than all but four programs, and for one of the programs, most of the wins are hers!

This week's AP article says four other programs (not five) and gives the same list.
