The latest Bracketology is out and UConn is still the No. 1 Two seed in the Fort Wayne bracket. If they can beat South Carolina or Oregon, that seeding could change to a No. 1 seed.

For those who might think the exhibition game against team USA was a complete defeat, you are mistaken. There were many reasons to be happy about the play of the Huskies. For example, UConn shot 40.4% from the field vs 40.8% for the pros. Very impressive. After a cold start saw the Huskies down 19-5, they went on a scoring spree that had them up 51-50 deep into the 3rd period. The obvious difference was Team USA's ability to bring Kelsey Plum, Neka Ogwumike and Kayla McBride fresh off the bench. Our top three starters played 38, 36 and 33 minutes. Team USA's top minutes were 27, 25 and 24. And, they were all subs.

Several stats were very close and a few others quite different. For example, UConn made 7 threes and Team USA made 8. Close enough. Both teams had 2 blocked shots. The different stats gave USA the edge. They took 76 shots vs 52 for Uconn. That was because USA had 16 offensive rebounds vs 7 for the Huskies. USA also had only 13 turnovers vs 20 for UConn. Finally, USA had 25 assists vs only 14 for the Huskies.

The Huskies played well most of the game. It was close until and the end and the team had fun. That is a "win" in an exhibition game like this. Next up is Cincinnati on Thursday. (SNY at 7 pm)

Go Huskies..!!

The only UConn articles to link were about Kobe and his daughter and their connection to UConn.

I don't know about you, but I can't read another article about them. It hurts too much.
