Really good coach and his presence is good for the conference

Should be back next year. Hopefully the performance of Larry Davis is going to lead to his own HC job.

Davis did such a fantastic job this season. It will be nice to see Cronin back though - he is awesome.

He's also a man elf, but it will be nice to see him back. I always preferred his temper tantrums to Pastners toddler antics.

UConn and Tulsa will be pretty good. Temple and Memphis have a chance to be in the mix too.

Temple is going to be really good next year.

Alston and Lowe will play immediately, they are both impact recruits.

That's a lot of experience for a Hall of Fame Coach to mold around the AAC Player of the Year and probably the best big man in the AAC

think the last title belongs to Memphis' Nichols for now.

As of right now MK should be assumed to be returning and MK is better than Nichols.

What makes you say MK is better than Nichols? Nichols averages more PPG and is a superior post defender...he was also 3rd in the nation in blocks while only accumulating 50 personal fouls- that's pretty impressive. They both average roughly 6 RPG. Nichols will likely be a 1st round draft pick.

OK I wouldn't think twice about taking MK over Nichols for 1 year-really? Nichols was not strong against SMU-he was 7 for 23 against SMU

Nichols was also hurt the second time we played him. Sorry but I would take him over MK any day
