If the SEC is so talented and amazing then why haven't they had a team representing their conference in the Final Four since 2008? ZING
And I get the feeling we're still fumbling around, mid-season, trying to figure it out. By tournament time this team will have played twice as many games together and, hopefully, will be starting to 'get it'.I think part of the problem is that there is a huge drop off after the top team (UCONN) and then after the next 2 or 3 teams. So people go on and on about how tough the SEC is because you have LSU beating Kentucky today, but the reality is Kentucky is just not a very good team.
Yes I share your worries - for the rest of WCBB!!!And I get the feeling we're still fumbling around, mid-season, trying to figure it out. By tournament time this team will have played twice as many games together and, hopefully, will be starting to 'get it'.
I'm worried about next year, though:
The AAC teams outside of UConn also get challenged. The road isn't exactly easy for Memphis, Houston, SMU, East Carolina, and Tulsa either. In fact being in a league with UConn makes it harder than being in the SEC where parity means all the teams suck equally. It's annoying seeing big SEC match ups end with scores like 60-48 or 54-42 and having to hear how these great SEC teams are doing battle with each other and blah blah, whereas if AAC games had those same scores it's evidence of how bad the conference is.Fair to say that there are no easy roads in any of the Power 5 conferences. It's a fun debate to rank them, but all those teams get challenged.
Outside of USF and Tulane (and UConn of course), the American teams are wretched.
Well maybe, but then so is much of the SEC, which you noted above as the second best conference. As you well know, even the poor wretched AAC's fourth team East Carolina is rated at #50 (yes a top 50 team then), which is ahead of the bottom half of the SEC. So then the second best conference is half-wretched, I guess.Outside of USF and Tulane (and UConn of course), the American teams are wretched.
Too bad there is not a SEC-AAC Challenge in WCBB
It would certainly settle these arguments.
There is no argument. The AAC is a terrible conference.
Case closed.
But as usual you were proclaiming the same thing back when you said the AAC only had one team that wasn't pathetic. Now there's four teams in the top 50 with three teams projected in the Tourney, so peddling the pathetic stuff is just pathetic. But I should stop here, because the banned can't play on.There is no argument. The AAC is a terrible conference.
