Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 2605533, member: 730"] Commenting about ESPN's use of deceptive stats isn't an accusation of anti-UConn bias. It's an accusation that ESPN distorts facts to inflate the SEC's image. The comparison of Tenn's wins over S Carolina to those of UConn is one example. Another happened today in the Miss St - TAMU game. They talked about Miss St & UConn both being undefeated, stating first that even though UConn plays in a weak conference they play a lot of top level teams and then following that up by saying that Miss St plays in what is (according to the announcers) is the toughest conference, making the two schedules comparable and actually hinting that Miss St has had the tougher road as far as staying undefeated. What they fail to point out is that despite playing in a weak conference UConn's SOS is ranked from 2(Massey) to 4(Realtime RPI) while Miss St's on those same sites are 14(Massey) & 22(RealtimeRPI). UConn has no choice but to play their conference foes but what does this say about Vic's OOC scheduling? Of course this would lead to why they don't question Vic about his schedule looking a lot like Baylor's. It isn't that ESPN dislikes UConn. It's just shilling in order to create some sort of equivalency between UConn and the rest of wcbb. [/QUOTE]
