MSU - Michigan game wasn't that close. Final was 85-64

Fixed.

someone find a new conference for the Huskies

Yes, Please.

Although, I'm not sure it would be that much better in any conference they played in.

I was thinking the ACC, if for no other reason than to torture Duke and Carolina. (But also having UConn and Notre Dame in the same conference again would be really great for the sport.)

Agreed, BeK.... I've always thought that we (men and women bball) fit best into the ACC because it seems more like a bball conference than football....but I think Boston College helped keep us out of there. They hate us. As long as our football program stinks, I don't think we're going anywhere soon. I can only hope that over time, the American gets better, much like the Big East did in it's early days. In the meantime, I guess the bench players will continue to get lots of minutes.

I have to admit I miss the RU - UConn rivalry.

I am starting to miss the days of losing to Uconn but beating most other conference teams (Providence, Pitt, Georgetown, ST. Johns, Syracuse, Seton Hall, etc.) as opposed to losing several of these BIG games. It sure helped our won-lost record come selection time. Of course, I think we fielded better teams back then, too, before the middle of the pack programs caught up to or surpassed us.
