IMHO that will change this year. The past 2 seasons, especially last year, other teams could "smell the blood in the water", so to speak. UCONN was so injured that teams sensed opportunities they have never had before.

Not to sound over confident, but there's not a single team in the big east that will even come close to a 10 point loss. I suspect even the best teams in the BE will lose by 20+ going away. By the time UCONN has steamrolled over several teams, the fear factor will be back. Sure opposing coaches will do all they can to instill confidence, etc. in their teams, but there is only a small chance, IMHO, that any team is even within 10 by halftime.

Side note - all this assumes a healthy UCONN team this season.

And I'm one of those fans who feels that not only is UCONN #1, it's not particularly close between #1 and #2.

IMHO I think fans are a little gun-shy about UCONN these days. Given all the bad luck, and the ridiculous plethora of injuries, UCONN has not had the seasons anyone wanted or expected. Just my opinion, but that all changes this year.
