These pre-league games are markers to see how well the teams are 'getting it together'. Obviously UConn has better players, and the best coach in women's basketball. Haven't seen enough yet to have an opinion, just seeing snatches of write-ups. Not certain how they'll do against WVa, in the championship game, and guess won't see it on TV either. The pieces are there, and they're still young.
