“It's an amazing accomplishment in a conference that is so, so
difficult, and for us to play the most difficult schedule in the
league, going to play at all those ranked teams and winning all those
games on the road,” McGraw said. “I think we definitely earned it.”

Sagarin has UConn's overall SOS as 13, ND is 18. Real Time RPI has UConn 5th in strength of schedule, ND is 12th.

You avoided the question. The answer is yes. UConn played ND, DePaul, Louisville on the road. ND plays UConn, Rutgers, St. John's, Georgetown, and Louisville on the road. Conversely, last year they benefited by playing all those teams at home.

Wrong. She provided the Sagarin SOS which takes into account where the games are played. So she did not avoid the question at all, and UConn's overall SOS is tougher than ND's.

Wrong, Nan gave the SOS which is for all games not just Big East. The question was just on the Big East schedule.
