UConn is in last place in the AAC....

You cant win with losers. Ive been saying this all season. Now what I mean by "losers" is mentality. All these upperclassman have known since coming here is losing and at some point that mentality becomes ingrained. Ive said it and ill say its again the winning won't begin till Ollies guys are out of the program.

Memphis and Tulsa if they keep winning like they are. Also wouldn’t surprise me if another team gets the auto bid. Just been that kind of year.

Memphis is fading and Tulsa just isn't as good as they look.

Maybe you'll be right but when Selection Sunday comes I think the AAC only gets 2 max.

I guess my thing is that I don’t see any teams at the top (i.e. Wichita St, Houston) that are vastly superior to the 4-5 next best teams. Hell, you could throw UConn in that mix too since we’ve proven we can hang with the “top” teams in the conference. Also, everyone is beating everyone in the top half. There is a lot of parity this year and it will be difficult to predict how the rest of the year unfolds and who gets hot in March. That’s why I think it’s entirely possible that 3 or even 4 teams get in from this conference (maybe 5 was a stretch..lol)
 
FWIW, Joe Lunardi thinks we'll get four:

Unless there's so much parity that all leagues have massive numbers of double digit loss teams, I can't see the B1G getting 11 teams in. Is anyone seriously putting them in the class of the 2011 Big East.

Seven teams with gaudy records but then look at the rest:
Ohio St. 13-9 (2-5 in last 7 games with the 2 wins over Nebraska and Northwestern)
Wisconsin 12-8
Minnesota 11-9
Purdue 11-9
Michigan 11-8
Nebraska 7-13
Northwestern 6-13

The questions are:
How many double digit loss teams will look good at the end?
How likely is it that there won't be at least 7 teams with 13 or more losses? (2 already)
Will teams with 13 losses and only 18 wins get a bid?

It has never been that we are "too good" for the AAC. It has always been that we are terrible fit for AAC and have subsequently terrible as a result. The AAC is a good conference, just not a good one for us. Don't underestimate the toll that all that travel has on a group of young kids.

Tulsa isn't getting in unless they win the league. A incredibly weak Out of Conference schedule and some absolutely terrible losses.

We’re the best last place team in the country! If we played any other last place team, in the country, I guarantee we’d take them into OT. Sure, we’d lose, but we’d be the best losingest last place team in the country.
Can we reschedule CCSU?

Good idea, we can have a 30 odd national tournament of last place teams, call it "The Best of the Worst" or"Little Dance". Is this what UConn mens basketball has descended to? Pathetic!.

Sadly, I could actually see 4-5 teams in the tourney this year from the AAC

Wichita and Houston are in good shape.

One of Memphis/Cincinnati/SMU/Tulsa if they can separate themselves will have a decent shot.

Unless somehow a team other than those 6 mentioned wins the conference tournament, its a 3 bid league max.

What the heck does that say about our team? We should stop complaining about the league and admit that the problem is all ours.

it's been on my nerves ever since the Big East move was announced - our fans all over the AAC but for the vast majority of our time there all we've done is fill our diapers.
 
Edit: S Fla lost to Houston so at 1-6 they are now alone at the bottom. It may be short lived however with some tough road games upcoming for us, needless to say need to beat Temple on Wed.

We are too good for the AAC. When we leave who will hold the league up? Nothing to worry about though we have the best player in the MEAC coming next season.

Macio Teague plays for Baylor, number 1 team in the country. Transferred from Big south school UNC Asheville. Anything is possible when transfers come in from other conferences.

I know this doesn't fit your narrative but WE played in multiple bowl games, including a BCS bowl, something that a lot of more established college programs have never done. But please, carry on with the make-believe......

the sooner we hit rock bottom the sooner we can bounce back. i'm not afraid to say it- i'm happy to sit back and watch the guys hurley has started calling out continue to play themselves out of the program in order to make room for new blood. so sue me.
 
It's important to remember we're essentially down four guys and don't have a true center. Those aren't easy challenges to rise above in any conference.
