Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 3438208, member: 10435"] I agree that only by doing"mental gymnastics" can you get to the #1 seed fantasy for UConn at this point in time. DePaul is #13 and we are #5. What about #4 and then #s 6-12? Are we clearly, unmistakenly better than them right now? As you point out, we really have no empirical evidence for that. In past years the Ohio States, Cals or even Oklahomas of the world have been ranked and it was easy to be able to see the difference. This year we have a gutted ND, a down Vols, several unranked non-conference teams and 3 powerhouses to use as our basis to gauge the Big Dance. It's great to love your team. I do. But the only kind of love that should be blind is the kind that we are celebrating today, not the kind on the hardwood floor. [/QUOTE]
