Lol is it not true Cox? They don't even add quality football, well I guess ECU plays pretty decent football. They won their bowl game but each of them are pretty poor athletic departments.

Who knows, maybe Houston and Tulsa will step it up. But it's looking more and more like Cinci, SMU, UConn and Memphis will be running this conference from the basketball side and it's a considerable drop off after that. Houston has a chance though to get back to the Phi Slama Jama days.

Cincinnati, UConn, Memphis and SMU is a good core. Although Memphis, UC and UConn will be a bit down next year. Temple should get back to tournament quality and if Anthony Collins stays healthy, USF is a post season quality team as well.

As for the bottom of the league, I don't know how the language filters work so I'm not going to comment...I'll just say, I hope we aren't in this conference a few years from now.

Temple needs to get back to being Temple. Cincy, UConn and Memphis will always be good.

Not sure there will be anywhere to go, although a sportswriter in Dallas floated some chatter on the radio yesterday that the Big 12 should just go ahead and add Cincy and SMU to get to 12 teams and a football champ game. Don't really see it happening so SMU better get its football house in order and help build AAC.

There isn't, I just don't want to think of all the RPI-killers that are going to be in the league next year.

Shame SMU football is in such a dark place, it is going to cost us big time. Cincy has a better shot at the B12 than SMU because SMU football is a joke that we are all choking on.
Probaly won't happen...BUT...maybe it will!!

Good luck going forward (please do the same to Louisville you did to us tonight). Till we meet again (possibly in the conference tourney?)...


Good luck to Cincy going forward - until we meet again.

BTW, better home court - SMU or Louisville?

Temple only had 8 scholarship players this year. Coach Fran is a quality coach will be back.

I had never seen how the court looked, but the fans being that close right behind the bench isn't what I've been used to seeing in the Big East. It reminded me of the old Charlotte arena in the 90's when the students would just sit behind the bench and yell in Huggins face for 40 minutes. Seems like it is just begging for an incident to occur, very amateur...

Your team is very good though, they do an amazing job of packing the paint and forcing you to hit jump shots (remind me of a better Xavier). I think it was clear that SMU wasn't going to be denied tonight, just one of those amazing nights.

they are not right behind the bench. they are off to the side. If your coach comes down the court then yes, they are right behind him. Nothing amateur about it at all. It is perfect, and it aint changing so get used to it.

We're a better team than cincy. We've shown it over the course of both games. That coach is a cry baby. Didn't hear him complaining when his team was getting all the calls and got bailed out at their place. 31 vs 9 free throws in a close game.

Hahaha. Congrats on the Super Bowl win tonight. You've been a joke of a program for better than 20 years and all of a sudden you guys get all tough?

Considering I didn't know if this Cincinnati team would even make the tournament, I am absolutely thrilled to be 22-3 and 11-1 in the conference. You'll have to wait til next year to get your first meaningful basketball banner...

Can you not read? I said over the course of the two games I think we showed we're the better team. This team was not ranked that had overachieved. Good for you. I think it helps to have a good cincy team in the conference but it is not a top 7 team. We're not either and in a neutral place we win.

Now your true colors are showing. If you need a Kleenex just ask your coach where he keeps his supply.
