Something really must be said on this occasion.
It became a favored pastime for the wannabe elitists of the so-called power-5 conferences to pour scorn upon UConn's conference affiliation during its 7-year undefeated streak in the AAC.
But here's the fact: Not a single other team in the country would've run the table in the AAC for 7 straight years. No other program would've been able to summon enough unfailing consistency to beat a team like USF 2 or 3 times, every season, year in and year out. Mississippi State just went down in flames, and Baylor had all it could handle. Contrast that to how UConn very rarely (maybe only once?) won by fewer than 20 points over USF in the 15+ times they played as AAC rivals.
Well done, South Florida Bulls!
