Message: [QUOTE="packwrap, post: 5166787, member: 13341"] To be clear, I thought they might lose by 20. No matter how you get there, if you lose to a top 10 team by 1 possesion, you are competitive. Soon they get to take on top 5 teams, UConn, TX and SC, plus one more against LSU, who may be top 5 by then. We'll see if they are 'competitive' one notch higher. OOC scheduling for P4 teams (football too) is always a conundrum. Schedule tough teams to improve your team, or cupcakes to project your record/seeding. Sadly, if you look at history and stats the cupcakes route is smarter. Mulkey has known this forever. If Baylor won Big12, or LSU is top 2 in SEC, no one cares about their OOC in March. With these new 18-20 team conferences, this will only get worse. Mulkey was not stripped of her 4 national titles due her weak OOC. On Coach Caldwell, she most likely inherited most of her first schedule. I don't believe she tried to cancel the UConn game. We'll see what her future schedules look like. [/QUOTE]
