2013-2014 NCAA basketball attendance figures

Does this mean you think Memphis is UConn's #1 rival in the AAC right now?

For the simple fact that Memphis and Cincy are the only other programs at uconn's level the games seem to have more importance...
There isn't really enough history or shared geography with those schools for a 'rivalry'.... That could chang but it would take time.

Izzo will drive you crazy. MSU is easy to hate.

We're from the northeast. Up here we can easily hate pretty much anyone.

It's weird that no one even mentions UConn's rivalry with St. John's anymore. 20 years ago if you asked this question, the answer would have been: St. John's.

And now St John's isn't even mentioned as a top rival.

If you ask me, the rivalries went like this:

1. Syracuse
2. St. John's
3A. Pitt
3B. Georgetown
...
...
Maybe Villanova & Providence
...
...
Maybe Seton Hall
...
...
Louisville & Cincy & West Virginia?

UConn was the Yankees of the old Big East almost always near the top of the standings for the last 20 years. Thus, the Huskies' rival any given year was whoever else was at the top with us.

I was going to mention St. Johns. As Conehead stated, I think it has a lot to do with competitiveness. St. Johns eventually dropped off. BC was a rival at times, but only when they were competitive.

My 25 year list would be:

Syracuse
Georgetown
St. Johns
Pitt
Villanova, Notre Dame, Providence, Boston College
Louisville, West Virginia, Cincinnati, Seton Hall, Marquette

Just goes to show the power of Satan.
