Thanks for the update. And as you said this is standard for Uconn stats in comparison to other teams. It is not only the Uconn schedule that dictates this, but also the scheduling of teams like Baylor. Baylor sometime plays a few ranked teams OOC, but even when they do that, they fill the rest of their schedule with home games against the dregs of D1 schools - their  MOV is frequently around 50 OOC and then as they play in conference it slowly reverts to the norm in the low 20s. Same thing for FG percentage for and against as the offense is a progression of lay-up lines while the defense is playing against incredibly over matched teams.

Uconn with an inverted schedule compared to most teams in the country has the opposite trajectory stats wise - their defensive and offensive stats building through their weaker conference. Even during the glory days of the big east the conference schedule overall tended to be easier than the OOC - every ND game offset by games against Providence, Seton Hall, Pitt, and Cinci. Seldom were there more than a few teams that could actually keep scores respectable in BE play.
