Looks just as hard OOC in basketball.

I can't imagine anyone being more prepared for conference play then SMU.

With two main pieces missing you have to be more understanding for SMU.

Power indiana? They lost to E. Washington. Not UW, EASTERN Washington.
Now Memphis gets blown out by unranked Baylor. Terrible start for AAC.

our basketball made a deal with the devil for football.
don't bet on us anymore.

SMU isn't going to be what we hoped but that went down the drain when Muiday didn't join the team. No surprise there.

ECU, Tulane, Tulsa, UH, UCF, USF are what they are.


All in all, it's not going to be a banner year for the AAC hoops, but again, there are some great programs that are just a little down this year.

It is what it is.

Tulsa and Houston are good basketball schools also, I am sick of downer UC fans that are constantly complaining about every team in the conference and think UC is Gods gift to the earth...

Since 1980 here are the number of Tourney appearances by each team:
Temple: 23
Memphis: 21
UCONN: 19
Cincinnati: 18
Tulsa: 14
Houston: 8
SMU: 4

Cincinnati hasn't been a power in college basketball since the 60's. If anyone has any room to complain about being "stuck" in the AAC it's UCONN and I never see them complaining.

not true

UC was powerful in the 90's...wins, ncaa trips, all americans, nba players, etc all prove this out. Do some research son.


SI recently rated UC the 12th best program all time...know your place Tulsa

We'll never know, but I'm convinced that the Bearcats were one broken leg away from a national championship while in CUSA.

Kenyon Martin
Kenny Satterfield
Steve Logan
? Johnson
I can't remember the other starter.

That group was nearly unbeatable and went into the CUSA tourney ranked 1st or 2nd with only 2 losses, and then Martin broke his leg against the Bilikens and they were eliminated in the 2nd round.

Dermarr Johnson. I cannot remember if Stokes or Little was the other starter.

The other starter was actually Jermaine Tate, a transfer from OSU. He was limited offensively, but was a terrific defender and along with Kenyon Martin, formed the best defensive interior tandem in college basketball that year IMO. Also, with Kenyon Martin, DerMarr Johnson, Steve Logan, and Kenny Satterfield providing the offense, we didn't need Tate to score.

Kenyon Martin swept all the major player of the year awards. Steve Logan would go on to become a consensus first team All-American. DerMarr Johnson left after his freshman year to become the 6th pick in the draft, and Kenny Satterfield was drafted after his sophomore year.

Nothing is a given, but Cincinnati was the #1 ranked team nearly all season and was the odds-on favorite to win it all. I will never get over Kenyon Martin's injury until we win another championship. Literally and figuratively the toughest break I've ever endured as a sports fan. Carson Palmer's knee injury in the 2005 NFL Playoffs was a close 2nd.

You had a great team no doubt. But that UC team was deep, talented, and NASTY. They beat you with physicality and intimidation. Oh and nobody could stop or contain Kmart.

I agree we had a great team. We were 10 deep and I don't know if you remember but we played in the Big East where physicality was an ordinary thing so that intimidation not happening. Kenyon was good, elton Brand was good and we did a pretty good job on him.

Duke was the better team to be honest, but UCONN had an excellent game plan and won the game. I think the 1999 Duke team that lost to UCONN in the finals was the best Duke team I've ever seen. Don't take that as a slight against UCONN, take it as a compliment that you found a way to beat a dominating team when it mattered the most.

Really? I thought he broke his leg the year they beat that "mighty" Duke team in an early tournament ? Duke was dominating but so was UConn.
UConn spend retty much half the season ranked #1 the other half well Duke. But of course UConn never got the hype Duke got nor did they need it. The only player on that Duke team that would start on the UConn squad would of been Elton Brand.

My mistake on Kenyon's injury date. mi braino no function muy bueno. MSU wasnt that good to me Cincy definitely was the team to beat.

I disagree, lets be honest the NCAA tournament is a 1 off scenario, the best team doesn't always win. I think Duke was more talented across the board other than Rip Hamilton. I actually think only Rip would've started for Duke.

It's like Duke beating that UNLV team in 1991, did anyone walk away from that thinking Duke was better than UNLV? I just looked at it as a great gameplan and hot team.

I am glad UCONN won the game, just calling it as I see it from an unbiased perspective.

Cool, but seeing as Khalid El-Amin is in the husky wall of honor I seriously doubt any team in would of have putWilliam Avery in their starting line ups ahead of Khalid. Allen Iverson said that the only player to have ever defended him and got the best of him was Ricky Moore see what happened to Trajan Landon in Dukes last possession in the title game? no way Avery would start over Ricky, also Magette and Batier were freshmen no way they would have started over a Double-Double guy In Kevin Freeman. We had 4-5 guys who could hit 3's with no problem.

Both Duke and UConn played Michigan ST in the regular season they both thumped Michigan ST. Duke played St. John's at MSG barely escaped with a win a week later UConn played St. Johns at MSG and UConn thumped St Johns.

2011 kentucky was hyped as the best thing ever they meet UConn in the maui invitational UConn thumped them they meet again in the final four again everybody is talking about kentucky again UConn beats them.

Last year same BS kentucky this kentucky that and we all know what happened.... so in all honesty you think all those teams were better that year then UConn? lol
