so I’m peeping the weekly college basketball rankings and I’m seeing the familiar names near the top week in and week out (with notable exception to texas and louisville who have since fallen from grace). I saw dook whip the living shit out of (then) #2 ranked texas so I’m gonna begrudgingly give them the respect they’re due. but what about the other team getting hyped? uconn.

uconn’s ranked #2 in both usa today and AP polls as they are currently undefeated. I recently saw a score where they beat unranked morehead state 129-61 with a halftime score of 61-30. now what motivated them to run up the score like that against an obviously much lesser talented team? where’s the sportmanship? take one look at their current schedule and with the exception of #8 gonzaga (whom they BARELY beat with a buzzer beater) they haven’t played A SINGLE RANKED TEAM (arizona was ranked at the time, but they were clearly overrated and have since fallen out of the top 25). all these sportswriters are going crazy over uconn — for what? blowing away unranked teams PLAYING ON HOME COURT? please. I’m going to let this slide as “we want to get in as much winning as we can until we lose rudy gay to the nba next year.” any half decent team can have an undefeated record playing at home against the likes of pepperdine, army, new hampshire, texas southern and stony brook. it just pisses me off they schedule cupcake schools and run up the scoreboard. I can’t wait until they get their asses handed to them. huskies, I got one word for you: louisville.
