Louisville @ Cincinnati

[OhioBrownFan]

It will be a high charged atmosphere anyway. In case you hadn't noticed it has been good all season. Also, if Louisville wins the conference it makes the AAC look worse next year because it will be viewed as if the AAC lost the best team. Looking at the big picture anything that stops Louisville from winning the conference is best for the AAC.

You think it's not going to be viewed that way anyways from outsiders? In case you missed it, they've got the best football program in the conference and won the natty last year in basketball. Winning or losing a conference tournament isn't going to change the fact that the best program is leaving, nor does it change the fact that there are still powerhouses both recently and historically in Cinci and UConn.

If Cincinnati wins it will not be views as that. In case you missed it Louisville did not have the best football team in the conference, UCF did. Louisville doesn't need to win the conference regular season title or the tournament.

I'm not going to debate this because there's nothing to debate, you have your head in the sand though if you think that outsiders don't view the Louisville athletic program as the best in the conference. It doesn't really matter to anyone outside the conference either if they win the conference or not fyi. Besides, it's a moot point because the Ponies are gonna run [deleted] up at the FedEx Center anyways

Louisville plays at Memphis on March 1st. Hopefully, Memphis can beat them. And the AAC conference can send them to the ACC with a foot in their back side like the football team.

Tulane, Tulsa, ECU, and Navy don't even begin to make up for what the conference is losing with Louisville and Rutgers leaving......

Well Rutgers blow, I wouldn't be too upset over that one I think ECU has some pretty good football, Navy has cool tradition in bball and football. Tulane and Tulsa, well, those are meh especially these days. Louisville is the only one that bothers me leaving. The ACC is going to be stacked in basketball, almost unfair

Losing Louisville hurts, no doubt. Didn't even know the conference was losing Rutgers. . . That's how insignificant the Scarlett Jersey Girls are.

I don't know what all outsiders think and I don't think anyone really does. What I do know is that from a big picture prospect that the AAC has the stats to prove that their football team was not the best in the conference because UCF was and I hope the AAC get the stats to prove the their basketball team will not be the best in the AAC.

I understand, not trying to be a jerk or pour salt in the wound, I'm just trying to call it like it is and I don't think anyone else in the country doesn't view Louisville as the cream of the crop. There's a reason the ACC went after them and not others, that's all I'm trying to say. I really would not worry about stats because perception is perception and it's not going to change. Same reason UK was top 2 to enter the season in basketball. Perception was they landed the best freshman class ever and therefore would dominate like they did in 2012 or whatever year that was. Louisville is perceived to be the best in the conference by anyone not affiliated with the conference, it's really that simple. Same reason you probably say Ohio State is overrated and B10 fans would say it's a product of a tough basketball conference. Fact of the matter is they are overrated but don't try to tell an tOSU or B10 fan that.

I don't think anyone really knows how everyone outside the conference views anything unless they have meet everyone outside the conference. That might be your opinion which is fine but no one can give others view points unless they have meet them and spoke to them specifically about the matter.

Fine, let me ask this.

You'd rather lose Louisville than UConn, Memphis or Cinci if you got to choose?

If those teams were all in the B10, I know for sure who I'd want to stick around if it was a choice.

[SMU 86]

I don't want to lose to anybody. Right now I don't want to lose to UConn because that is who we play next and that is the most important game of the season to this point to me now.

I'm talking about leaving the conference. Not basketball wins and losses lol. Geez

OBF - Every fan of every team in every sport in any conference does not want a team that is leaving the conference to win in their last year. You surely are aware of this, it is a universal concept. It is not unique to SMU or AAC fans.

[Smu97186]

Whether Louisville won or lost that game, it has a minimal impact on seeding, and has 0 impact on the conference tourney, where the champion is crowned. They are gonna have to beat two of the top 5 in order to win it either way
