Vitas Gerulaitis beat Jimmy Conners to break an 0-16 match record against him and famously admonished the press at the after match press conference "Let that be a lesson to you. No one beats Vitas Gerulaitis 17 times in a row." Doug Bruno gets 2 or 3 times a year to break his current 0 for 17 record against UConn. Under or over, UConn extends that streak to 25 or more games? I have the over.

I have the over on that too. I like Doug Bruno, but he's no Vitas Gerulaitis!

UConn prepares for every opponent. There's not going to be a letdown. They've been in the Big East when it was much tougher, and the team will be much better this year.

I welcome the new competition in the BIG East conference. I'm so happy to get out of the AAC, I'm speechless. Different players, different coaches, different programs, different venues. It all makes for a new and exciting season. I hope we get to play an entire schedule this year. I look forward to seeing new faces in new places. I look forward to seeing our team jel and dominating the competition.

Will you be disappointed if UConn does not dominate?

Yes, I would be. UCONN (in general) would dominate ANY conference including all the P5's.

Of course the Pac 12 would be the toughest (the Oregon schools, Stanford, UCLA, up and coming Arizona), and conferences that have SC or Baylor or whoever else is a legit top 5 team next season could also be a challenge, but that is based on individual teams who are also really good, not based on the rest of the conference, which wouldn't pose a threat to UCONN - IMHO.

No. Any win is a good win, even an ugly one. I’d take a 4 point win over the teams we lost to last year. Based on the talent and potential of this team, it should dominate most of the competition. UConn will be fun to watch and analyze. Win or lose, you know there will be lots of analysis by the boneyard. :cool:

I just hope they can play for the complete season. The tougher the competition, the better. It will make the TEAM tougher. We all know how last season ended(abruptly) , and you never know how much you like something until you have it no more!

Iron sharpens iron. It’s impossible to get better, and sharpen your individual and team skills playing cupcakes and twinkies. The tougher the competition the better. Be better than you were yesterday, but not as good as you’re going to be tomorrow. UConn strong.
