 Big east once a powerhouse
If you look back at the big east during the tail end of Nehlen's coaching career the big east seemed tougher than it is now. That's probably because we had teams that were closer to us such as the terps, which made rivalries seem more heated. I sense very little rivalry between Connecticut and us although I think it will be a very demanding game for the players. What I have been noticing is teams popping up from other conferences to take on a run at the national title, some early, fizzling out like South Florida, and others like Oregon coming out of the woodwork, so it really is true when you say that anyone can beat anyone on a given day. Look at the successes of Boston College and Maryland this season- they were once big east contenders.
