Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 2523511, member: 1131"] Maybe another factor is that the way the schedule has worked out, UConn hasn't yet had to face any REALLY good opponents. Notre Dame looked good when UConn played them, but the additional injury to Lili Thompson and the blowout loss to Louisville have put a shadow on their quality. UCLA, Stanford, and Maryland haven't proven to be world-beaters in their non-UConn schedule either. Texas does not look so great, and anything less than a 20-point victory tonight will be concerning. South Carolina is not looking great either. The best "other" teams in the nation seem to be Mississippi State, Louisville, Tennessee, and maybe Baylor, and UConn hasn't played any of them. At least Louisville is on the schedule. That may shape up as #1 vs. #2 and a battle of the unbeaten. If UConn wins, and certainly if they win convincingly (far from certain), then they will have established some real credentials. So far, they haven't done that. [/QUOTE]
