the goal of this season was and still remains to be: find a way to get into the big dance. Be a top 64 team to stay relevant. It is part and parcel to the overall long term goal of returning UConn to blue blood and championship contender status.

sitting here 7-3, let’s figure out what needs to be done to still achieve the season objective.
Some context - AAC tourney bids by year:
2015: 2
2016: 4
2017: 2
2018: 3

Given overall ncaab parity this year, I think we can safely look for 3 AAC bids.

I would think two clear paths for UConn: 
Path 1 - beat Villanova, creating two solid OOC wins, and finish top 4 in conference regular season play

Path 2 - finish OOC play 9-4 (cuse only solid win) and finish top 2 in conference regular season play

Path 3 - lose lose lose until the aac tourney and run the table

I would be nervous about losing to Villanova and not finishing top 2 regular season in case someone like Wichita wins the tourney out of no where.

What am I missing? And Who are the likely 3 teams?
