Message: [QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 2102431, member: 489"] Yeah well stated Doc. Here's my take, it's not that good of a conference - basically Conference USA. And yeah we should be dominating if indeed that's the level. I doubt all the programs will rise and it seems there's a couple key programs going the wrong way by the numbers (minus us) like Memphis and Temple. But they both have a chance and the support for basketball to take positive steps. Not sure on the others although I expect Sampson, if he stays, to keep UH up there. Tulsa, UCF, USF, Tulane - who knows? Yankovich should be able to keep the Mustangs near the top as well as Cronin who will always be there. It's up to the UConn brand to potentially help the lower tier get better, kind of like what GTown, Cuse did for JC and our own Huskies in the late 80's. SMU and Cincy are not UConn as far as recognition as we know so now it's time to step up. Agree with most everyone, next year is a key year to make some positive steps moving in that direction, we will see! [/QUOTE]
