Hoopfeed: Defending champion Huskies face “new world” in defending their crown

[DishNSwish]

Always known for playing difficult schedules, the Huskies will play the teams that finished ranked numbers three, four, five, six and seven at the end of last season, plus number 11 and number 12. Missing though, is a glaring opening in the team that finished number two last season, Notre Dame.

If you are looking for individual star power and talent, potential 2014 WNBA first round draft choices Chiney Ogwumike (Stanford), Maggie Lucas (Penn State), Chelsea Gray (Duke), Alyssa Thomas (Maryland), Odyssey Sims (Baylor), Shoni Schimmel (Louisville) and Gennifer Brandon (Cal) will be on the court along with the Huskies’ own seniors, Stefanie Dolson and Bria Hartley. It would not be surprising if each of the WNBA lottery picks next year play in UConn games!

Come now, with "maybe the next batch of Husky rivals will come from ex-Big East now AAC members Cincinnati or South Florida, or new AAC conference members Central Florida, Houston, Southern Methodist, Temple or Memphis," you are strongly implying that UConn is not in a doomsville situation and that the current-future AAC members will somehow manage to improve and be fit competition. You know that view is heresy around here.
