Message: [QUOTE="KembaStepback, post: 2030929, member: 5881"] I don't think anyone is complaining about the top half of the AAC conference. SMU, Cincy, Memphis, Tulsa, Houston, Temple are solid programs. The rest of the conference schedule is a JOKE. ECU, UCF, USF, Tulane are just bad. THIS is the issue people have. Not only are these teams not good, there is no geographical or historical rivalry with any of these teams. I'd MUCH rather play St Johns or Seton Hall. The only cupcake game in the Big East is DePaul. Bottom line is UConn men's basketball is fine in either conference, IMO. Would I prefer a P5? Of course. But if I were given the choice, I'd want Big East. It's where we belong, honestly. Big East would also boost attendance. People will go to the XL Center for a game against Seton Hall or St. Johns. They don't for ECU or Tulane. Playing the tournament in MSG is also nice. Sure we will have had home court in 2 of the last 3 after this season, but who cares? Playing in MSG is basically a home game and just brings better juice. [/QUOTE]
