At least for the forseeable future, Uconn is "stuck" in the aac as some would view it. Or, they are in the aac, period.
Instead of griping about it, does a team like Gonzaga provide some kind of blueprint for success when outside of the P5?
Can they learn from teams like St. Joes in 2003-04 (27-0 regular season, elite 8) or GW (26-1 in 2006) or WSU who brought a 34-0 record into the tourney a few years back. Or how cincy dominated the conference usa for years. And so on with these kinds of examples. All of these teams did amazing jobs in less than traditional ways.
Or is it not possible, perhaps St. Joes/GW just had a perfect storm and something like that is nearly impossible to emulate or at least unlikely. What can Uconn look at in regards to coaching technique, strategy and recruiting certain players to try and have similar success in the aac moving forward...Because lets be honest, the way these teams have achieved great things is for sure different (not in a bad way) from how a strong power 5 team might do things.
