It looks like we'll end up with 5 regular season games vs teams that are strong F4 contenders:  @UCLA, ND, @Tx, @SC and L'ville.

I initially thought that the home/road split was a disadvantage, thinking Tx and SC might be the best of the bunch.

Based on results so far, I'd say we caught a break.  Louisville, with a road win (OT) vs OSU and a 13 point win over Oregon, may well be the #2 team in the country, with ND not far behind.

That said, if we can get and stay healthy it is very difficult for me to see anyone beating us this year.  The gap between UConn and the field appears to be significantly larger than it has ever been.  And that's in spite of the fact that the team hasn't jelled yet.

Don't be fooled by the 4th quarter.  Our average lead through 3 quarters has been 35 points.  And that's against some pretty decent competition.  It wouldn't be a shock if four of them end up in the Sweet Sixteen.  This UConn team is an absolute beast!!
