The Rens were the dominant basketball team of the 1920's and 1930's. During the 1932-33 regular season, the Rens compiled a record of 112-8. During that season, the Rens won 88 consecutive games, a mark that has never been matched by a professional basketball team. In 1939, the Rens became the first all-black team to win a championship game, when they beat the Oshkosh All-Stars, 34-25, in the World Basketball Tournament in Chicago. The team compiled a 2588-539 record over their history. A high point was the defeat of the NBL champions Oshkosh All-Stars in 1939 . They were disbanded in 1949 and inducted in the Basketball Hall Of Fame as a team in 1963 . EXTERNAL LINK |
