Mechelle notices there are a ton of UConn players on the Sun roster.

Having UConn players on the roster obviously isn't just about luring fans who have affection for them because of where they went to school. The fact is, it's wise from a pure basketball standpoint for Sun coach Mike Thibault to get UConn grads whenever they can fit into his team.

That's because competing in that program -- with its demanding standards -- gets players ready for the pro game. Plus, they come with an attitude that winning is expected.
