Message: [QUOTE="gtcam, post: 3408009, member: 2844"] Amazing how many were talking about taking a "victory lap" on the final AAC season and here we are looking at a 1-5 league start Sunday evening. Yep - can't wait to get out of this lousy league. Joining the NBE is a great thing but this league is better than many give credit. In recent days some here were calling Tulsa a fluke and will be at the bottom of the league within days - anybody else see what they did to Memphis last night and Houston earlier? I'm not saying that Tulsa will win the league and be sweet sixteen bound but how many expect those same results vs Memphis and Houston from UConn this season? Villanova, Indiana, USF and Xavier were must win games due to physical match-ups. Houston IMO is not a must win but is a learning game - playing against a physically big, aggressive and talented team with players who all would look nice wearing a UConn uniform [B][I]"Look, we just played two top-40 teams down to the wire and in those two games if you can't see the progress between this year's team from last's then find another team to root for."[/I][/B] Yes there is progress in some areas yet regression in others, however, the results as far as W's has not, that is frustrating. All these close games were winnable with a few tweaks on the offensive side of the ball and in substitution patterns. Players are going to make good and bad plays - even the best do so. [/QUOTE]
