AAC Credibility is in Our Hands

[Tenspro2002]

With Cincy sh1tting the bed, Memphis unlikely to escape the first weekend, and Louisville now effectively under the ACC banner, the credibility of our new conference rests in our hands.

We need a good performance relative to the other high-mid-major conferences like the A-10 (St. Joe's) and the NBE (Nova) to establish ourselves and earn respect.

Oh ye of little faith...

I hope Memphis knocks off GW, UConn knocks off St Joe's, and Tulsa upsets UCLA.

Who cares about AAC credibility?
You know what conference had a historically awful tournament in 2011? The Big East. Eleven teams in, two made it out of the first weekend. How's that for credibility?
Show of hands of how many UConn fans give a crap about that.

They need to win because if they do they get to keep playing. _____ conference credibility today.

Uconn always carries its conference....been that way for 20 years (even though ESPN forgot that in their stupid Big East piece)

Some things never change. Conference credibility is always in our hands.

 

[WestCoastHusky]

We have to deliver just like always. It was like that in the BE and it will be the same in the AAC. We can't count on any other team in this conference to carry anything.

Let's go get them today!

The AAC is not going to get any credibility anyway. I just want to win so UConn, so we can keep watching. And Winning.

 

[CL82]

After years of carrying the Big East, carrying the smaller AAC should be a cake walk.

 

[Scot-e]

The AAC sucks. UCONN however does not suck.

WE ARE DOOMED!!!!!

It is my belief that independence is not a viable alternative to the AAC, but performances like the one Cincy put forth is an argument for the pro-independence crowd.

5 seeds lose all the time. Syracuse lost as a 2 seed once, and the Big East wasn't threatened with dissolution.

They played poorly, and lost. The end.

The last thing on my mind when I'm getting ready to watch a UConn tournament game is our conferences reputation.

If we take care of ourselves, things will be fine.

Losing Louisville next year will hurt the top of the conference. But if Temple and Houston improve, and with the addition of Tulsa...and maybe some health from USF...the conference will still suck, but might actually be rated higher in the RPI.

 

[WestHartHusk]

I'm content to be the sole dominant team in this mess...it will make the decision for the next conference to expand simpler.
