Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 5219801, member: 1131"] If UConn had won the Tennessee game, I think there would be a consensus that UConn should be a #1 seed. Relative to the losses of other #1 seed candidates, that was a really bad loss, even though it was on TN's court and was only by 4 points. Obviously, it is also true that if UConn had played in a P4 conference and had 2 or 3 in-conference losses to other top teams, it could also have gotten a 1-seed that way. If UConn were in a P4 conference, it would probably have a cupcake-filled OOC schedule with perhaps one or two challenging games, but that would be OK since there would be plenty of Quad 1 win opportunities in conference. I thought it was interesting that in the SOS ranking chart that [USER=4]@HuskyNan[/USER] posted, UConn was 48th in overall SOS but 2nd in out-of-conference SOS. That is the inescapable impact of being in the Big East, and it is not a fully solvable problem at this point. [/QUOTE]
