Nothing to complain about with that -- especially since UConn is almost exclusively relying on the past 25 years to earn points. We talked about this earlier in the week here.

ESPN has put a mathematical spin on ranking the top college hoops programs and this week it is releasing a list of the best 50 programs in the last 50 years. You can read about the formula in the link above. It is heavily weighted toward postseason success, which helps UConn, but the lack of consistent success by the Huskies before 1985 is going to hurt them. I'd wager that UConn winds up being listed somewhere between 15-10. You can read about teams 50-35 here. The next 15 will be revealed tomorrow and there will be ten teams named on each of Thursday and Friday. Where do you think the Huskies will wind up?

Gene DeFilippo -- the man who bragged about personally blocking UConn's invitation to the ACC -- is retiring on September 31 and the only people more happy than UConn fans are BC fans.

Not really enough out there to get a full round-up going today, but The Hour took a long look at the most interesting (for my money) player on UConn's roster: Andreas Knappe.

News of UConn being included in part of this 16 team mega power tourney is awesome, in light of UConn not being allowed into post season play for 2012-2013. The interesting thing will be how UConn's roster shapes out both from a player and coaching stand point. The practice facility should be up and quite functional by November 2017 too. Too bad for Pitt and Syracuse. The two top dogs in the ACC will forever be Duke and North Carolina.

SB Nation PItt blog Cardiac Hill reached out to us about a month back to preview UConn, unfortunately we missed the e-mail so our friends over at the Hill reached out to the worst possible source for help: BC Interruption. Not that you needed another reason to hate BC, but if you're looking for one there you go.

After losing his helmet, the aptly named "Shermanator" by Revenge of the Birds, chases down a runner 40 yards down the field. In a preseason game.

"Katelyn Falgowski (Landenberg, Pa.) and Melissa Gonzalez (Mohegan Lake, NY) were key in keeping Argentine star Luciana Aymar silent throughout the match. Amy Swensen (Grantville, Pa.) made crucial saves in net and the defense was solid in shutting down Argentina’s attack" "I think our teams strength is defense," said captain Lauren Crandall. "We knew we had to bring our best performance to today’s match and we did. I think todays win was an all-around team effort but Katelyn Falgowski and Melissa Gonzalez were exceptional in holding the best player in the world (Aymar) from attacking. They both played a consistent match throughout the 70 minutes and they definitely had the tallest task for today."

Last week we told you that UConn had its eye on a few Penn State players, including linebacker Khairi Fortt, who is from Connecticut. However, UConn has apparently missed out on Fortt who announced today that he would transfer to Cal.

Grantland checks in with the former UConn center who is fresh off a year playing pro ball in France. Right now he's in Las Vegas for the NBA's summer league and eyeing a spot on the Clipper's roster. It's a piece on several players, so scroll down about halfway to get to Armstrong.
