The hope is that with four starters returning to the fold, including a pair of All-Ivy League guards, the team can climb the league ladder in 2011-12. UConn has won six of the eight all-time meetings in this series, although these two teams haven't met since 1983, an 85-60 Connecticut victory in Hartford.

Connecticut may be the first team to feel the brunt. UConn posted an 826 last year, and let's be honest, that score is an abomination and a slap in the face of a well-regarded institution. According to reports, a UConn official has stated that the 2010-2011 mark will jump to 975, giving it a two-year ave |

Take away the five sacks the Mountaineers tallied again UConn a few weeks back and the efforts by the defense to break into opponent's backfields is even more disappointing.

Quarterback Johnny McEntee fumbled on the Huskies' initial drive of the third quarter and West Virginia linebacker Jewone Snow returned the ball 83 yards down the right sideline to the UConn 12. It took West Virginia just two plays to cash in on the turnover as Smith hit Tavon Austin for a touchdown. On the first play of the Mountaineers' next series, Smith and Stedman Bailey hooked up for an 84-yard scoring strike. After McEntee was |

The defeat was the third in the last four outings for UConn, which has only wins against Fordham and Buffalo to show for its efforts thus far. As far as the all-time series between these two teams is concerned, WVU won the first six encounters between 2004-2009, but last year the Huskies struck back with |

From the perspective of the conference, potential matchups like UConn against Duke or UNC taking on Villanova on a week-to-week basis would drum up a lot of national interest and a television deal could probably be struck to rival that of big football TV contracts.

The Big East goes 11-deep in regard to legitimate annual "Sweet 16" contenders, and the most recent national title was captured by UConn, a team that finished 23-0 versus non-Big East squads but won only half of its regular season conference games. Yet football brings in bigger bills than basketball, so Syracuse and Pitt made a run for the money. The most pathetic thing about this |
