Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 4187015, member: 1220"] I am surprised that only a few posters seem to realize that the Vols downward slide is not in UConn's best interest this season. It appears too many are allowing their personal vendetta to cloud their reason. Lets review. Because of covid cancellations UConns usually strong out of conference schedule has been diminished. They needed to play a highly rated Tenn, win or lose, for strength of schedule purposes. They had also scheduled UCLA which is usually a top team but due to massive injuries is doing very badly in conference play. They needed a win over a strong Tenn team for rating purposes. Now it leaves them in a no win situation. If hey win it will count very little and if they lose it will be a dagger. Playing in a weak league can be mitigated if you are undefeated or have played a strong out of conference schedule. At this point Uconn has neither.. They are going to have to rely on getting healthy for the NCAA's and having a harder path than normal for them. This is just what a lot of other teams have had to do for years. [/QUOTE]
