Message: [QUOTE="LoTrader, post: 2585685, member: 8404"] Disagree. Wouldn't "eat up" the PAC12. Wouldn't "eat up" SEC or ACC. I am not saying that UCONN wouldn't still be undefeated, but I am saying that UCONN would have a lot more close games. When you play every team twice (maybe 3 times including the league tournament), you become more familiar each successive time you play them. Case in point, Oregon State was beaten by 35 in the 1st game vs UCLA, and, was up by 17 in 2nd half at USC in their 1st game and lost. OSU just swept UCLA and USC, because they were more familiar (and properly prepared) in their 2nd encounters this season. OSU may lose to one of these teams in the PAC12 Tournament, but their won't be any blowouts. UCONN does a great job of scheduling out of conference games, but if they played in the PAC12, SEC, or ACC, their chances of a season without a loss would be greatly diminished. [/QUOTE]
