Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 3259077, member: 1414"] The AAC is a good basketball league. Memphis, Houston, Cinci, Temple, Wichita State are all strong programs. UCF and USF are showing well, and SMU has had good teams. Tulane should get better. It was tough on UConn, because it was a downgrade for our fan base, and because New Englanders are so parochial and can’t seem to embrace the idea of non local rivals. Plus we are in a good recruiting area, but most of those guys didn’t find the league appealing. But for every other school except Cinci, this league is an upgrade for their fans. More local rivals, better opponents. And except for Temple, the geography is an advantage for most of these schools. Memphis kids have no problem playing against regional opponents like WSU, Tulsa, Tulane, Houston. Even Cincinnati is on the border of Kentucky. [/QUOTE]
