Our conference is what it is this year. Stop being pseudo SEC fans and get real -- an SMU vs Cincy rematch is the best for us. Stop with the strategic cheering.

This.
And if both could go at least to the sweet 16 we could forget for a minute or two about how UCONN, Memphis and Temple $h!t the bed this year.

Agreed going forward we need more teams in, but like last year we got no respect and got multiple teams (4) in but only one made it out of the 1st round.
We will get much more respect for SMU and Cincy making the 2nd weekend than getting in a 3rd team who loses in the first four.

This Conference desperately needs new credits (ie wins) otherwise basketball Tournament revenue is going to drop significantly

Praying Temple and Memphis can find form next year. UConn will have so much talent, they'll win some despite Ollie. Don't like Aresco commenting on no expansion during conference tourney. He need to add something for hoops. ECU needs to ditch Lebo and make an impact hire already. USF too. Go get lil Ricky

I know I'm supposed to get it late tonight right when it is starting to snow... hopefully it's not terrible trying to get to the XL Center Friday morning.

I will be surprised if our guys can hold up to 3 games in 3 days and win this tourney. I'm expecting tired legs and threes not to be falling at some point, but they have continued to surprise me all year so why stop now?

remember the (lack) of quality of play when SMU beat UCONN for AAC Tournament Championship with UCONN playing fourth game in 4 days. I remember UCONN couldn't hit their 3s (or anything else). Tired legs. 3 days might be doable-SMU has the best game times for resting too

A blowout win tomorrow would be nice, to sit the starters some.
