On Thursday look for UConn to be the overwhelming choice to win the Big East Conference when the preseason poll is announced at the conference's annual media day in New York.

Two-time defending national champion Tennessee wasn't quite as popular in the Southeastern Conference poll released on Tuesday.

Not only was Vanderbilt the preseason pick ahead of Tennessee and fellow 2008 Final Four team Louisiana State but no members of the Lady Volunteers and Lady Tigers were named to the preseason first team All-SEC squad. Don't expect a repeat as Maya Moore, Renee Montgomery and Tina Charles all figure to be named to the All Big East first team.
