I'm not going to beat the dead horse here more but want to express my biggest frustration with the reporting of this game not just here but also in the media. Big news was UConn was upset by an [B]unranked[/B] team. The rankings came out before any games were played. They were a guess based on what the teams showed last year and lost do to graduation or transfer (both in and out). These were not really rankings. They were guesses based on no pure facts. Yes UConn had some issues in that game. First game with basically a new team against a team with a known good coach. Talented players take time to become talented teams. Otherwise it is just an all star game. The outcome of the game was still in question until they were forced to quickly foul and hope. That also contributed to the large disparity in number of fouls shot. All the other stuff is a work in progress. But let the wailing about losing to an unranked team go. That has merit in January - not the second game of the season between 2 undefeated teams.
