How many losses will UCONN have in 2014-15?

That's a tougher question, but the answer may be the same: 0.

Number of potentially competitive games, counting the post-season, 8-10. Number of actually competitive: about half that.

I agree. In 2013-14, the seven closest games were decided by 11, 15, 17 (twice), and 19 (three times). That is an extremely wide margin for error. Talent plus consistency make that margin for error possible. Geno HATES inconsistency, and the talent is through the roof.

The games in South Bend and at Maples could be tough, but even then, it's hard to see anything close to a UConn L. Unless Brianna Turner and Jewel LLoyd turn into Magic and Kareem...

Jewel does actually remind me a bit of Magic
But like every human player, they can be hounded into ineffectiveness.
In the second half, tight guard play and the intimidating doubles by the bigs rendered her largely invisible.
And this season, she draws Mo.
She'll get her points, have to work hard for every shot and by the end be rendered only moderately productive.

I wonder if those that predicted UConn to lose 4+ games would be willing to stand behind their prediction and share their reasons why?

How many were there during this past year? I don't remember any victories by less than 10 points.

I am starting to think that next year's team will be better than the 2013-14 team, chiefly because Morgan will return and the effective bench will extend beyond one player. That assumes that everyone is healthy and that at least two of the four freshmen somewhat live up to their press releases.

Don't know if we'll be better. Losing Dolson and Hartley will be hard to replace. And having 4 freshmen to integrate. However, I don't know if our competition will be as good either, which might make us seem better.

I said 1. I don't really see anyone able to beat us, but on any given night...... Also, who knows about injuries, etc.
So 1, and I'll be happy to be wrong if we go undefeated.

Maybe they want to see a repeat of 2004 and 2013.

Probably just some Tennessee or ND fans pulling your chain. Don't let it bother you.
