Message: [QUOTE="UPitt, post: 661157, member: 3638"] Indiana is still a strong school, but you were not out of line. Uconn has clearly closed the gap in recent years, and the perspective of Uconn vs Indiana in neutral areas of the country is such: Uconn is new school, new money, new rivals, newer traditions, growing economy, gaining ground on those ahead of them, where as Indiana is old school, old money, old rivals, old tradition, shrinking rust belt economy. These are general characteristics associated with Uconn vs Indiana for sports and education and I would say Uconn is clearly gaining on many midwest schools including Indiana. Edit: To not be misinterepted, I was only comparing Uconn to Indiana with respect to new vs old. I understand Uconn always has a great history of basketball, but to neutral parts of the country Indiana has a percieved image of having an older tradition, where as Uconn has a newer tradition.
