From a Longhorn beat writer, Joe Harrington, at the Austin American-Statesman.  He rated the BB teams of potential Big 12 additions.  While recognizing football is king, he said BB is also important and here is why he rated UConn #1.  BTW, this newspaper's sports' writers seem to be in our corner.  Whatever - this can only help.

[B]2015-16 record:[/B]25-11, 11-7

[B]Last tournament appearance:[/B]2016

Yeah, it’s not even close. In terms of basketball, the Big 12 should be begging UConn to join the conference. They’d instantly rival Kansas as the best program in the conference and actually have more NCAA National Championships than the Jayhawks in basketball. UConn has won four titles since 1999.[URL='http://www.today.com/series/morning-routine/uconn-basketball-coach-kevin-ollie-s-morning-routine-dealing-march-t82566']Kevin Ollie[/URL]is probably the greatest example of a coach taking over for a hall of fame coach. Since Jim Calhoun retired in 2012, Ollie is 97-44 with three tournament appearances and, oh yeah, a national championship.

UConn is a top 10 program in the nation along with Cincinnati should be ranked in the top 25 to start this seaso
