Message: [QUOTE="LoboDays, post: 4043818, member: 11080"] This thread displays a very distinct difference between UCONN and its fans vs the rest of Women’s College Hoops. The OOC schedule is of major importance for UCONN. For the team, it’s the only test of how good they are and provides the only opportunity to evaluate players in competitive situations. For the fans, it’s the whole season. No matter what school it is, having UCONN on your schedule is a big deal and a big game. But for them, it’s not the only game. These teams need to win their conference. That is their major focus. UCONN /SC is a game the UCONN fans have circled on their calendar. Kentucky, A&M, Georgia, Etc are the games SC has circled on their calendar. Same with the teams in the other power conferences. Their “big games” are in-conference and their conference tournaments. UCONN has a decided advantage in these OOC games. With BE teams in front and back, they can prepare. No other team can afford that luxury. No coach will be fired for losing to UCONN. But they will be updating their resumes if they lose conference games they should have won. [/QUOTE]
