Message: [QUOTE="Sea Goat, post: 2673751, member: 3716"] No one is more critical of ESPN than I am. However, the article makes some valid points. No one plays a tougher out of conference schedule than UConn. Trouble is that, because of conference scheduling, the bulk of such games are early. There is no doubt that, in women's BB, the AAC is chock full of tomato cans. Playing tomato cans night in and night out is challenging from a competitive point of view. After January 1, most of the time, UConn's toughest compettition before the tournament are the boys they play against in practice. It just makes you work that much harder at being sharp. Challenges have to be conjured up rather than naturally appear on the court. I believe there is some truth in this article. Frankly, it is more evidence of the deleterious effect of being in such a horrid conference. [/QUOTE]
