The #1 team in ALL the land

Being #1 in the country in early February is like being in first place in the National League East in early September. It's nice to be there but it doesn't mean squat unless you're there at the end of the season, too. The University of Connecticut men's basketball team started their brutal Big East schedule with a bad loss to Georgetown at home, looking downright ugly in the process. Since then they have rolled through the best conference in all the land to the tune of 9 straight victories leading into tonight's class with #7 and undefeated in Big East play Louisville. What does it mean? The Huskies are going to lose. How do I know? Science baby. Since North Carolina fell 4 weeks ago and lost their #1 ranking, 3 other teams have held the dubious honor. First Pittsburgh, who promptly lost. Then Wake Forest, who promptly lost. Then Duke, who promptly lost to Wake Forest opening the door for UConn. Personally, I thought the Demon Deacons with their 1 loss and having just defeated Duke reearned the right to be ranked #1, but they followed up that emotional victory by losing AGAIN! So tonight UConn will continue the time-honored tradition of puking all over the #1 ranking and let someone else take it next week.
