U Conn over Cincy, under the presumption that Cincy has a pretty solid resume even with an early exit?

Ask and ye shall receive.

UConn might as well be in Northern Canada from where I'm at.

The winning history of Tiger basketball started way before Cal came on board. As a program, Memphis has been very good and a national brand. Fan support in Memphis with the exception of the past 2 years (fans tired of Pastner clown act) has been off the charts, putting 16-18,000 in the building on a regular basis. Even with a pro team in town, the Tigers are still the heart beat of the city.

YUKON looks gd so far

If it was a stock, American basketball would be undervalued and a huge buy.

The problem with the league this year is that all of the top 6 teams outside of SMU and Houston underachieved in the non-conference. Houston didn't play anybody and SMU is ineligible, so that doesn't help at all. UC, UConn, Tulsa, and Temple each blew multiple opportunities to take down top 50 RPI teams in close games.

I think UConn was 4-3 in the non-conference. Top 50 wins over Texas and Michigan. Texas was on the road. Ohio State too.

I'd say that UConn was the best team in the Big East back in 2011. They went 23-0 outside the conference regular season, with a lot of wins over ranked teams. They finished 9th in the Big East regular season.

Well, Seeds #5 and #6 made it to the CCG.

Thanks. I think this team has reached its ceiling. I would be shocked if you guys didn't win tomorrow. You are playing better than anybody else, by far.

We got a fortunate draw. Tulsa is a good matchup for us (only team not to lose to them this year), and Houston helped us out a lot by cooging it to Tulane.

Im not even sure you guys needed the help. I had been screaming all week Memphis was a sleeper for a reason and they haven't even remotely been challenged.
