Knicks’ Carmelo Anthony Knocks Down a Few Shots and One Teammate

"Geno Auriemma and the UConn Huskies are starting this season where they left off, atop the poll.
It's
the 11th time that the Huskies are the top choice in The Associated
Press preseason poll which was released Tuesday. UConn went on to win
the national championship in seven of those years, including the last
two seasons. Connecticut is one short of the record held by Tennessee.
"I
think it's part of the culture that we have hopefully created here
where the expectations are really high," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said.
"Not just the outside world's expectations, those are our expectations.
We want to be viewed, year in and year out, as one of the best teams in
the country."
The
Huskies received all 32 first-place votes from the national media panel
Tuesday and will be trying for an unprecedented fourth straight
national championship this year.
"It's
certainly not something you take for granted, but at the same time when
you've been in that situation enough times, you get to appreciate a lot
of those times we weren't number one and won the national
championship," Auriemma continued. "That's when you realize that the key
is finishing the season number one, not what you're ranked in the
preseason. But as the famous Lefty Driesell once said, 'you tend to
finish where you're picked'. I kind of like that."
UConn
also was the preseason No. 1 in 1995, '99, 2000, '01, '03, '08, '09,
'10, '13 and '14. The Huskies open Nov. 16 at No. 6 Ohio State.
South
Carolina was second with Notre Dame, Tennessee and Baylor rounding out
the first five. The Gamecocks were also No. 2 in the preseason poll last
year."5
