I believe he is referring to games like MdEastern Shore, Texas southern, and some of the other creampuff. Games like that count bu tthe teams are really no better than the D-3 teams we play in the pre-season. And that's a big issue. How do you get to 20 plus wins without lots of creampuffs? As an aside it is also why I didn't think Ollie owuld have too much trouble winning more than half his games.
UConn has played 5 or 6 tough OOC games over the years, and in some years more, as opposed to the more normal 3 or 4. So, while watching the 8 creampuff games doesn't please many (I actually do like to watch them), I think UConn can't really afford to go without them for two reasons: revenue and NCAA bids. As it is, UConn has lost bids in years when it had a winning record inside the BE conference BECAUSE it played too many tough games outside.
