Well UConn goes to UH this week before they play us at home. They have gotten hot lately and their last 3 wins have been real close. With us having the week off I feel we should be able to handle them we are a much better team.

Well at least we'll have something interesting to watch on our week off. I say Coogies drill them.

Uconn will have their hands full for sure in Houston. Hoping for three overtimes.

That UConn-Temple game was really fun to watch. As annoying as I find UConn, I really do want them to stay in the AAC and to get their mojo back next year. That would be huge for the conference. Also Memphis.

BTW, anyone know how 2017-2018 recruiting has gone for those two programs?

Thrilling basketball at Tulane tonight in front of maybe 500 people. BTW, wanna know why UConn wants to bolt this conference, Tulane is a big reason.

Our conference is so down this year, but the bottom end of our league is like Mid-Major basketball or worse. I guess its nice, because if we hadnt been playing Tulane the other night and played like that we could have been in trouble.

But 3 teams having a RPI/KenPom's over 200 in conference play is rough. Tulane vs. ECU is brutal.

We really need Memphis and UConn to figure their stuff out. If they get back to where they were when the league was formed, with our rise and Cincy, along with pretty solid UH and Tulsa teams the AAC could be a formidable basketball conference. And Temple is usually pretty solid.

I was looking at our RPI today and we only have 3 RPI 100 conference wins. And we have 14 conference wins. Temple, Memphis, UCF and UConn are all fringe Top 100 (100-125), but still that's crazy. The league really needs SMU and Cincy to both make it to the 2nd weekend of the tourney.

Instead of taking the UCONN route lets keep winning, improve football, and who knows what happens.

Add Witchita St, VCU, Dayton, etc. Don't just add one. Only wish Gonzaga was feasible

Big games tonight for conference seeding.

BIG.

UCF wins tonight and I don't think Memphis finishes ahead of them.
