SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw figures top-ranked Connecticut is going to provide the best possible measuring stick to see just how good her second-ranked Fighting Irish are.We need to see where we are. We havent really played a great game, McGraw said Tuesday.Voters in The Associated Press womens basketball poll moved the Huskies (7-0) ahead of Irish (8-0) on Monday, marking the first time 11 years a team lost the top ranking without actually losing a game. The Irish say theyre not concerned.Rankings really dont matter, its really about the best team wins, Irish guard Marina Mabrey said.McGraw said two months ago that this season should be more open in womens basketball because the Huskies looked more vulnerable. The Huskies eked out a 78-76 win over Florida State to open the season, but since then have had little trouble.Notre Dame has outscored opponents 85.8 to 54 on average so far this season, while the Huskies have outscored opponents 81 to 56.9. The Huskies have the more impressive victories with four over Top 25 opponents while the Irish have one.The Irish will have the crowd behind them Wednesday night, which UConn coach Geno Auriemma said will be a challenge.Were going to have to match that. Theyre deep, have a lot of players. Were not so (deep) right now, he said.Auriemma said he was looking forward to preparing his team to face the Irish.Thats still one of my favorite things to do, he said.The rivalry has grown into the best in womens college basketball, although its been a bit one-sided the past four seasons. The Huskies have won five straight, dating back to beating the Irish 83-65 in an NCAA Tournament semifinal in 2013. Before that, the Irish had won seven of eight.The difference this time around is the Huskies wont have Breanna Stewart, who led the Huskies to four consecutive national championships.They dont have a great player, McGraw said. They dont have that one player like Stewart that can just take over the entire game. I think they have balance -- probably more balance than theyve ever had. You have to guard everybody.McGraw contends the pressure is on the Huskies, who have won 82 straight.Theyve got to keep that going, with however many games theyve won in a row, McGraw said. Theyre No. 1 now, so its a little bit like it was in the past.McGraw said trying to regain the top ranking wont be a motivating factor for the Irish.I dont think were going out to prove a point in that way, McGraw said. But I think were certainly looking at it as a great test for us to see who is No. 1. Iman Shumpert Kings Jersey .

Melbourne Victory coach Kevin Muscat has wasted no time teeing off at Football Federation Australia this season, accusing the games governing body of putting safety behind other considerations when fixturing.Victory will need to play three matches in 12 days to start their season due to International Champions Cup and FFA Cup commitments.Glamour friendlies with Italian giants Juventus at the MCG on July 23 and Atletico Madrid on July 31 in Geelong await Victory.Their round of 32 FFA Cup tie follows three days after, made more difficult after being drawn away to Newcastle Jets.Given Muscat is in the middle of a squad overhaul and wont have his usual compliment of players available to him, the championship-winning coach declared the situation far from ideal.He said Victory fans would be the losers, deprived of seeing their best team in at least one of the fixtures.Were the only team playing in the ICC yet weve got to play an FFA Cup game three days after Atletico, he said.Unfortunately somethings got to give because we wont be able to play our strongest team for the threee games.ddddddddddddI apologise now to our members and fans if we dont have our strongest team available for the Atletico game or the FFA Cup game.I understand that theres many other contributing factors to scheduling the three games ... TV, you name it and somewhere around seventh or eighth is player safety.Its unfortunate that safety is the last one thats taken seriously.While Victory was party to the decision to schedule their Atletico date in the middle of the FFA Cup window, the club believes it had a case to play the Round of 32 match a week later when Sydney FC, Brisbane and Perth Glory are in action.An FFA spokesperson said the league needed to juggle competing factors.FFA considers a wide range of factors when scheduling which games are played on the scheduled match dates for the Westfield FFA Cup, a statement read.The three-day break between matches is one of the important factors considered.The A-League season begins in October.
