Image result for AP Poll

The AP poll came out today and UConn comes in at No. 5 in the nation. I'm curious if Westbrook was declared eligible would the voting be different? You would think that adding a possible AA to the team ranked fifth would move them a couple of slots? I suppose you could make a case for Stanford but Maryland? Seriously?   

I posted a link in the UConn Link section for UConn's perspective on the poll. There were several articles from the perspective of different teams that made poll. I linked them in the WCBB Link section!

Notre Dame is ranked 16th in the AP the lowest pre-season ranking that the Irish has had in several years. But that happens when you lose all five starters and your first two subs off the bench. I believe that adds up to 92% of their scoring from last year being gone. But you have to admire the confidence that RS Sophomore guard Katlyn Gilbert showed with this statement.

“I think we can shock the world and win the championship,” said ND’s lone home-state player, from Indianapolis. “We’re young and a lot of us are inexperienced, but I believe we have enough talent and enough heart to do that.”

Kinda reminds me of this....

urnovers are the death of an offense. Lose the ball without even shooting and you have committed the worst offensive error. Add in that many turnovers can result in an easy basket for the other team and the need to minimize turnovers is obvious. How has UConn done over the last 6 years creating turnovers?

2018-19        580 turnovers created
2017-18        672 turnovers created
2016-17        666 turnovers created
2015-16        784 turnovers created
2014-15        700 turnovers created
2013-14        667 turnovers created

So last season was the low water mark for forcing turnovers. But UConn's record of creating turnovers is far better than how often the Huskies give up the ball. Consider:

2018-19        444 turnovers
2017-18        455 turnovers
2016-17        445 turnovers
2015-16        452 turnovers
2014-15        474 turnovers
2013-14        471 turnovers

Last season was actually the best for the Huskies in 6 seasons for taking care of the ball. With Crystal and Christyn running the offense, that total may set another low mark this season.

Go Huskies..!!
