The NET rankings are not a national popularity contest.
They are officially used for the NCAAT brackets & are based on a math formula.

And if UConn loses the NET's would reflect an away record of 0-2.
It also creates a reflection for the national audience which includes young BB prospects who may not even have a favorite WCBB team yet, and they're looking for one to root for.
They won't want to buy merchandise for a team that they perceive as losing too often.
Or maybe even choose not to play for UConn if recruited.
UConn's winning history is only as meaningful as their short memory beginning from 7 days ago on ABC.

As far as the players psyche, if they begin to believe that they can't win without certain players, then that can be like having a jinx placed on them.
They're only young adults and even among the BY fan base, many don't believe that UConn can go far without certain players being healthy.
Even Geno may not have made up his mind yet about how far UConn can go.

I guess we'll see how the team plays today and reacts going forward based on today's game results.
The game could be more important then is currently realized.

It’s December 11th and UConn’s ninth game

Why in the world would Nika be flying if in concussion protocol?!? Makes no sense.

UConn has a team bus. It’s a 6 hour trip to Baltimore. I know the team took a bus to Philadelphia a few years ago

Somebody has way to much time on their hands. It’s a just college basketball game in the month of December. Everything will work it’s self out.

I suspect there was no way Nika would not be at the game for her "sisters" unless she was told absolutely not travel. I can't imagine dealing with the noise and light show in the Xfinity center recovering from a concussion. Maybe she kept her eyes closed and had earplugs in...
