UConn was selected as the preseason favorite to win the 2017-18 American Athletic Conference women's basketball title in voting by the league’s head coaches, the conference announced on Monday.

Wow! Didn't see that coming! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I'm sure if they could, they'd just pencil in the entire first 7 Huskies as first team or second team. That's of course the problem with being in the AAC....

Collier, Huskies top AAC preseason polls

"We have four starters back from the team that won it so I'd like to think most reasonable people in our league would vote for us to be preseason No. 1," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. "Not that we have a lot of reasonable coaches in our league because not everybody voted for Lou for first team all-league. I guess you have to do something better than be Co-Player of the Year the year before to have everyone vote for you first team."

Can you explain what you mean by "order"?

I’m just taking a wild guess here, but Lou not a unanimous 1st team choice and the Huskies getting 11/12 votes for the top team in the league, could it be the little Italian guy wanted to push a few buttons by voting for someone else?

I guess Z hasn't played a game in AAC hence is not qualified.

Would you vote for a kid you had not seen play in your conference? I don't find this strange or insulting.

I dunno. He sounds miffed: . "Not that we have a lot of reasonable coaches in our league because not everybody voted for Lou for first team all-league. I guess you have to do something better than be Co-Player of the Year the year before to have everyone vote for you first team." Quote from Adamec article cited above.
