We have been saying all year A&M should have been ranked higher. The SEC is brutal this year. A&M, SC, Tenn, Arkansas, Kentucky and Georgia all can win on any given night. The fact that A&M went thru that gauntlet with only one loss but was stuck out of the top 10 for most of the season was a joke. They might be the best team in the nation because they are deep at every position - there are no holes.

UCONN has 11 NC's. what kind of prep would have made it 12 or 13 or 14? Not meant as an attack on you, but people really need to give the "UCONN's conference sucks" a rest.

UCONN has had one of the top 10 SOS's in the entire nation over the past 20 years. We constantly play tough OOC games. UCONN is NEVER going to get in to a P5 conference (our football program is crap), so you all better hope that the Big East on the women's side becomes like the Big East on the men's side.

So with a top 10 SOS almost every single year, and 11 NC's, UCONN is traditionally more ready for the NCAA's than any other program in the history of WCBB.

So aside from whining (again, not you) about "waaaahhh the Big East is terrible", what do people want. WE GET IT - THE BIG EAST IS NOT ONE OF THE BEST CONFERENCES IN THE NATION. Constantly talking about it is just stupid. There I said it. Stupid.

Psychologically they need to have something to blame, both for past losses and for anticipated future losses. So what better scapegoat than something that's entirely out of UConn's control, the conference affiliation. And what better way to set up your scapegoat than to harp on it ad nauseam.

Yeah, the SEC does such a wonderful job of preparing its member teams to win the NCAA tournament. So much so that they've won a whopping ONE title in the past 23 seasons.

Tennessee did win in '07 and '08.

On the other hand, it's been 28 years since the PAC-12 held up the trophy.

And before you grab that second cup someone is going to feel obligated to point out the Texas A&M win in 2011-which was actually 1 year before A&M joined the SEC. That won't stop some from trying to take SEC credit though.

and once again factual information with an omission of another fact to serve an agenda maybe ? The conference accepted Texas A&M University on Sept. 25, 2011, and University of Missouri on Nov. 6, 2011 as memebrs.

You people who keep saying never are usually either not graduates or don't live in CT. The football program did very well in the first 10 years. UConn will easily get into a P5 one day. We have obviously loads of fans who have no link to the state.

Louisville has only 2 or 3 national titles. We have over 20.

None in football!

Okay, 6 months. April is before September so Texas A&M won its national championship on April 6 2011 as a member of the Big 12. Isn't that a fact?
