Message: [QUOTE="Fairfield Fan, post: 2085353, member: 6911"] Coach Geno is absolutely right. Until recently, the Pac-12 was a joke of a conference for WCBB. The Big 10 has never been strong. Notre Dame hadn't lost a game in the ACC for, what, three years? And it has been AAC teams that have given UConn some of its toughest games the past two years. Weren't the two closest games, or two of the closest games, last year at the hands of USF? Tulane gave us the second closest score this year (3 point win), while Temple scored more points in a half than any team in years. I think there were seven teams in the AAC with winning records this year out of the 11-team conference. He's also right to point out that although UConn has clobbered AAC competition mostly, it's also done the same to everyone else. A 30-point win in the national championship game last year, and that without starter KLS. So he's right that no conference is really "great", certainly after the demise of the Big East. And he could also point out that he plays the toughest teams in the nation before going into conference play, resulting in the best record against the most RPI top-50 teams of any team this season. So interesting remarks in an important article. [/QUOTE]
