[URL="https://www.theuconnblog.com/2019/6/23/18713696/what-uconn-to-the-big-east-means-for-uconn-huskies-womens-basketball-geno-auriemma"]What UConn to the Big East Means for UConn Women’s Basketball[/URL] "The Big East lacks another dominant program to match UConn, but there’s not many of those in the country to begin with. The conference does have a decent middle class though, led by DePaul. The Blue Demons are coached by Auriemma’s friend Doug Bruno and are typically among the top 25 teams in the nation. Marquette has also become a perennial NCAA Tournament team, making the field each of the past three seasons. ***************************************** "When the wheels of conference alignment stopped in 2013, not a single athletic program at any school in the country was put in a worse position than UConn women’s basketball. It was like if Alabama football dropped into the Sun Belt. Moving to the Big East is the first step in fixing that. It’s not perfect, but it’s worlds better than the Huskies’ current situation.
