This is not UCONN related, but I'm predicting that PITT (yes PITT) will finish in the top 5 in the ACC this year. After being picked to finish last in the conference last year, they finished in 7th place and even won an NCAA game. They lost a lot of talent (their leading scorer and point guard and best defensive player), but I think will be even better this season for one reason: Suzie McConnel-Serio. I think she's one of the most talented coaches out there who has been hampered by lesser talent (and her refusal to leave the Pittsburgh area). But I really believe she can turn PITT into a consistent contender in the ACC given enough talent, and she's recruited pretty well for the last two years. Her team is young but IMHO will surprise again this year.
