Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 3294028, member: 10"] Today must be the day to release these articles. Has UConn finishing 7th (2 places lower than ESPN). Interesting comment about not believing all the hype on Memphis (as a lot of us on here have been saying - too many freshmen). [B][I]THIS IS UCONN’S SWAN SONG IN THE AMERICAN[/I][/B] [I]The Huskies are headed back to the Big East. Starting with the 2020-21 season, UConn will be back in the conference that it helped launch. That is a good thing for the UConn program – playing Villanova, Georgetown and Providence every year is certainly going to be more appealing to the Husky fan base than playing Tulsa, Tulane and East Carolina – but it is not necessarily a good thing for the AAC. Say what you will about what UConn has become since Jim Calhoun retired, but this is still a basketball program that has national appeal, a coach that has proven he can have success coaching in the Northeast and two national titles to their name in the last eight seasons. That’s a big loss for a league that seems to constantly be fighting for relevance in the national landscape of the sport.[/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://sports.yahoo.com/aac-season-preview-power-rankings-130021486.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
