This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

It’s still very front loaded and USF is half assed at best by btd
They are the best of the worst in that conference. The fact remains that UConn plays teams like ND long before we are at our best and the last half of their schedule virtually never challenges them.
Contrast that to the Big East where their final game before the NCAA tournament was almost always against ND for a conference title plus they played ND at the end of every regular season too - with the regular season conference title on the line most times.
They simply are not anywhere near as mentally tough as they used to be during Big East years. That doesn’t mean they can’t win because they are so loaded that they don’t have to be as tough as others - larger margin for error.
