The underdog is a compelling story. UConn got badly hurt with CR and the NCAA's questionable actions over the past two seasons. Plus there was the retirement of a HOF coach. In spite of all this UConn has already recruited well this year. Any success this season will seal the ability to recruit in the future and put an end to the discussion of UConn's demise!
Fans are similar everywhere! Cuse fans are hoping UConn fades. Why? Because UConn leapfrogged over them in terms of national notoriety! They would like to jump ahead of UConn and their chances improve if UConn's program became irrelevant! If I were a betting man I would wager Cuse takes the downward spiral to irrelevancy, and not UConn, once their HOF coach leaves.
