Message: [QUOTE="Pudge, post: 2017859, member: 364"] This is also a debate we see on the Football side. You can play one game - early in the season - and think the KenPom way. And there is little doubt that ECU and USF are today "a Mess". But then so was Houston and Memphis when we first saw them in this league. They'd crunch UNH today. And there is a reason Herrion is not at ECU any longer. The American East just does not have near the quality not depth nor good bigs. This AAC can be a far better league in all reasonable qualitative metrics. Don't kid yourself. USF, for instance, can be 100 slots higher in KenPom with one decent hire. Tulane? I'm telling Mike Dunleavy can crush any American East program with a good recruiting class or 2. Still ... What makes MM energizing, you still can have a American East team beat a major from one of the top 6-8. [/QUOTE]
