Barring anything unexpected, we should be number 1 after LSU lost to Colorado. That didn't take long. Kim doesn't play many good teams, and now we know why. Go Huskies!
This! It’s not how good a team is or how talented or who they play - is a team mentally prepared to take on all comers and find the mental fortitude to prevail time and time again? It’s really, really hard to win 100 times in a row at anything. UConn’s accomplishments have been far too undervalued.It feels good to gloat and I must admit I am somewhat happy LSU lost. It's not that I have anything against LSU. My happiness is that it illustrates just how incredible UConn's long-term accomplishments are. It's like when people were talking about a South Carolina "dynasty" beginning after their NC two years ago and they lost before the National Championship game last year. It's not that LSU or South Carolina are bad teams - they were excellent teams. But consistently achieving like UConn has over the last 30 years is amazing. Unbelievable, actually. Go Huskies. You make me - and several million other people - proud of your ability to achieve. You are loved!
There is a "me" though.This does not surprise me. While Geno the sly old fox was taking his team to Europe - essentially a team building exercise with a lot of new pieces, a number of LSUs high profile players were obviously not on campus this summer working out together but rather involved with individual projects. I was curious how that would work out and now we see. What's the old adage - there's no I in team
Yeah, but we started at #9, not #2 like we are now.
Because they are women. UCLA's men's accomplishments were not undervalued during their heyday. True WCBB fans realize UConn's women's basketball accomplishments will most likely never be duplicated.This!

True sports fans, period. If men can't appreciate athletic accomplishments just because the people involved are women, then they are not true sports fans. That's why you always see the great pros acknowledging female athletes/teams and the people who make negative comments are just the keyboard warrior losers on Twitter.Because they are women.

In case you are being serious, STFU = shut the **** upWiuld you please spell that out.
I agree that it’s hard to overstate UConn’s accomplishments . But it’s getting harder now because the talent pool is so much deeper. Top recruits have at least 20 or a little more solid landing places and then there’s the portal. We have been lucky fans.This!

South Carolina blew out #10 Notre Dame in Paris yesterday, 100-71. That’s a more impressive win than (hopefully) beating Dayton at home. I think the Gamecocks have a legit claim to the early season #1 spot.If UConn blows out this week's opponent like they should, they'll go from 2 to 1 end of story. SC will probably climb to 2 or 3. You don't jump 6 spots especially if 2 has a good week.
