In the two seasons preceding this one, UConn played 10 top 25 teams, six of them top ten teams.
Stanford played 21 top 25 teams, 14 of them top ten teams.

It's my belief that a more taxing schedule makes a team vulnerable to poor performances against weaker opponents.
And the pandemic and all its complications has to have added to the stress.

That may be true, but some of our losses have been early in the season, such as to Texas or to Santa Clara.

Unfortunately, we can't do a counterfactual and switch conferences for a couple seasons to compare results.
