Since the regular season doesn't really matter, and only thing you have to do is win enough to get in the tournament, the should just rank uconn, dead last to start the season. See how quick they can move up by the end of the year.
We were the highest ranked team with the most losses(14). Only Oklahoma & Washington were even close to us in losses. The both had 11 losses. How much would you'll bet the #19 final ranking with that many losses was based on program tradition even though we made the Elite 8?
hmmm 19th ? didn't they make the Elite 8 ? so there is only 6 or 7 better by how they finished
