Shouldn't we want UCONN to get better?

Wow. We are arrogant asking a team to get better that won the national championship a little over a year ago. I guess with a limited view, since we won the conference championship this year, there is opportunity for improvement. From a program perspective, we cannot speak.

No arrogance whatsoever. I want all teams in the AAC to be the best they can be. If UCONN can load up Kentucky style all the better.

Yeah, I don't read that as arrogance. UConn won the NC 2 years ago, but they fell way, way off last year. Definitely want to see them get back into tourney form. AAC as a whole needs to be more like 2013-2014, and less like 2014-2015, next year.

If they play like Martin and Emelogu, did, won't help them very much.

At the end of the day I really don't care if we win the AAC or not. To me it is all about the NCAA tournament. Having UCONN load up gives us an opportunity at a couple more quality wins, which our conference desperately needs. Hopefully Memphis, UCONN, Cincinnati, Temple, etc. can join us i the top 25 soon. Additionally, great players want to play against the best so I see this as great news for the AAC.

Great point. “@Sam_Vecenie: Finally, I also wrote some thoughts about Sterling Gibbs to UConn. Big-time get for them: http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketb ... onnecticut

Good. I hope UConn kills it out of conference and is a ranked team all year. And I hope they're highly ranked when we beat them at Moody and up in CT this year. Not sure how anyone can see this as anything other than a positive- I want to play good teams and beat them in conference play.
UConn is going to be a handful, though- Gibbs and Shonn Miller joining Purvis, Daniel Hamilton, and Brimah along with a 5-star PG (Jalen Adams) and a top 50 PF (Steve Enoch) coming in. Bring it on!

As others have stated - I want UCONN to clean up OOC - and I want them to demolish the Longhorns along the way. The better that they are, the better for us...

We should want all AAC teams to get better. Good news.
