Few teams return all 5 starters from last year. They still must contend with other teams that have improved adding freshmen and transfers. 
We lost two seniors and a transfer and we are (I believe) as good or better than last year save losing Paige. Bottom line is we're going to score a lot of points. The question is how far down can we CONSISTENTLY keep our opponents scoring total?

If we can keep the opposition at or below 59 ppg (roughly 15 points per quarter), we're good. We MUST come out hard and fast against the ranked teams. No slow starts. EVERYBODY has to show up. No disapearing acts!!!! No waiting for the game to come to you (I hate that). Go out and take the game to them. :mad:

Teams no longer fear UConn like they did 5-6 years ago during the Stewart era. We lost 6 games last year, and our best player again this year. To some, it may appear that UConn is ripe for picking. I don't think so. We'll find out during the Texas game on Nov 14. One of us will get exposed that night. :confused: We'll see if Texas deserves their preseason #3 ranking.
