Message: [QUOTE="drweo, post: 2139582, member: 6778"] At the beginning of 2016-17, Wasnt UConn # 3 in one poll and # 1 in the other (forget which was which)? Anyway, I have no problem with UConn not starting next season as # 1, for a couple of reasons. First, although they do have a ton of talent coming in, a ton of talent does not always turn into a ton of wins immediately. It remains to be seen if and when that talent jells/functions. Second, being ranked lower than # 1 may provide the Huskies with added motivation to show that they [U]should[/U] be # 1. Also, I am one of those who believe the defending champions should start the year as # 1. Only as a recognition of the status of being the "defending champions," until they lose. Finally, if S. Car. remains undefeated until UConn beats them in Columbia, it will be that much sweeter for the team and for us fans. PS: My guess is that either Davis or Gray or both return for next season. Attempting to repeat as national champions. [/QUOTE]
