Posted: Wed Oct 29, 2014 1:04 pm6 first place votes for them and 5 for us, so really pretty much dead even. I would think this is a combination of giving the defending champs props, and the new members being unaware of how far we have come.
Remember Tulsa, ECU and Tulane still remember [deleted] old Moody with 1000 people and a team that was mediocre/borderline bad (even in Brown's first year, talent just wasn't there yet).

I didn't see the actual voting, so thanks for sharing that. Makes complete sense...and makes for a great rivalry! Can't wait for those games!

They also may know about the Mudiay and Kennedy situations. I have no problem with where we are in the voting. If we are better than a reloaded UConn we will prove it on the court. Pretty much almost even in the voting anyway.

I would be surprised if any of them know about the Kennedy situation yet - but you never know.

read about it on the UCONN board. The interesting thing is that most of the comments were sympathetic as in: "we need him to make our conference stronger."
