The posts which describe some of the UCONN games this upcoming season as being against 'cupcakes' might want to consider the following.
As has been true for almost every season in the last 25 years, the Huskies will field a group which will be a mixture of a few highly-recruited and medium-recruited players coached by a staff which will help mold their individual talents into a very competitive team probably capable of a deep run into March/April.
It is my (very aged) memory that, at the conclusion of our last game in Texas, the coaching staff had on the floor the five players it believed would achieve the greatest success in the biggest game of the year - thankfully their assessment was correct and, simply put, we won.
Four of those five players are gone. Yes our team has great potential for a variety of reasons to develop into a consistent winner against high level teams, but without trying to rain on anyone's parade, IMHO the Huskies will have a lot to prove on the court before any opponent can be realistically described as a cupcake.
