Yup, we're on there.

Connecticut Huskies
Record: 20-15 (10-8 Big East)
Postseason: Reached NIT, lost in first round to Arizona State
After UConn won the national championship behind star guard Kemba Walker in 2011, the Huskies began their 2012 campaign with head coach Jim Calhoun suspended for three games for recruiting violations. They went on to finish 20-14 (8-10 Big East) and lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament to Iowa State. But at least they got a ticket to the Big Dance. After winning it all in 2014 behind star guard Shabazz Napier, UConn returned with sober but realistic expectations to compete for an AAC crown and possibly make a run in the NCAA tournament. No one was expecting a repeat championship, but no one was expecting the Huskies to lose in the first round of the NIT either. UConn went from 39th in offensive efficiency and 10th in defensive efficiency in 2013-14 to 107th and 65th, respectively, in 2014-15. Senior guard Ryan Boatright struggled with his health throughout the season, and players like freshman wing Daniel Hamilton and sophomore guard Rodney Purvis didn’t develop into the efficient contributors they were expected to be.
