Good point. Only one other Big East women’s program even made the NCAA tournament this year- Villanova who was a 10th seed lost in the first round to 7th seed Texas Tech who then got demolished by over 50 points by LSU. Not really any credible competition from their own conference in 20 games to even play different offensive and defensive talents and schemes.

UConn playing their Big East Conference games at home in Connecticut - certainly doesn’t toughen competition when you play your qualifying tournament games in your home state. Then the NCAA bows to them and gives them home games even through at least the 2nd round in the NCAA tournament. They are no doubt a great program but shouldn’t be given additional advantages for conference tournament and the NCAA tournament..UConn doesn’t challenge themselves by playing their top OOC competition in games away from Connecticut , why not? They played this year ,Louisville and Iowa at neutral sites, Fla St, Loyola of Chicago, Ohio St, Michigan and Utah all in Connecticut, and only S. Florida and USC away. It’s an advantage for their seeding but isn’t a way to test your team when faced with disadvantages.
