RE: The American would be a one-bid league
Before the season began, I had us pegged for 3 bids without the WSU add. Cincinnati, SMU and Temple. Temple has been a disappointment in conference play and I did not see this coming. Agree with others that our conference has improved top to bottom. Really like what Dunleavy and Tulane are doing. With a good hire UConn will be back and the jury is still out on Memphis. I believe Tubby has them on a four game win streak after dropping the first two conference games. We need UConn and Memphis strong again.

RE: The American would be a one-bid league
When the national media refers to this conference it's usually as, "The conference Wichita State joined" rather than the American or AAC...
UConn is trash.
Memphis is trash.
USF is trash.
ECU is trash.
Tulane is slightly above trash.
Tulsa is slightly above trash.
Temple is slightly above trash.
SMU is okay.
Houston is okay.
UCF is okay.
Cincy is very good but never does anything in the Dance.
Wichita State is elite and has a strong record in the Dance.
I am not saying this to gloat and I wish it weren't true. There really isn't much more to say on the issue.
We are unfortunately... The Flagship.

Pitiful. I don't know what else to say.
Here's something else to say:
The American would win no NCAA tournament games if they didn't add wichita state this season.
Pitiful.
Way too pessimistic. Cinci is a legitimate Final Four team this year, they could easily win four for the conference by themselves. If WCC can hang on to win their opening game, you may win another one there as well. Figure five wins to be a realistic objective.

RE: The American would be a one-bid league
There's still a lot of games to be played by everybody. I think it's kinda premature to freak out over this "if the Dance were held today, these teams would be in" silliness.
Teams in other conferences will also have some "aw-sh1t" games also, so we can still put more than 2 teams in.

Just think, a few short years ago we were teeing it up every night in the most dominant basketball conference in the country. Now, we find ourselves in the same league with these back water clowns. Funny how things work out sometimes, ain't it?

Remember , you are a flagship with a mast that is starting to bend after the loss the other night. Getting too heavy to bear. And you are not elite, good but not elite. Try again......
#4 out of 350 is generally considered elite. We were #3 last month.

RE: The American would be a one-bid league
The only historically elite program in the conference is Cincinnati. UCONN is nouveau riche, Houston had a long period of elite results, Memphis and Temple are historically excellent. Wichita State is still just an up and comer further along the process than SMU. Tulsa has had many runs of being very good but does not have the support or cache to hold on to their great coaches in order to sustain their success.

You might wanna do some fact checking if you think this is the only time in WSU’s history they were considered “good”. No, they didn’t sustain it and have as much success as a Cincinnati or Houston, but this isn’t the first time anybody’s heard of Wichita State.

Don't kid yourself. No one in this conference is UCONN-elite.

RE: The American would be a one-bid league
The problem with UConn is they need to fire Ali Olie he won a championship based on Calhoun's kids which is true.
The Huskies need a coach Memphis has a coach Temple needs a coach. When we straighten out our coach problem things will get better but this will be a three bid league maximum.
The Huskies are somewhat healthy we'll see what happens tomorrow when they play a real basketball team if they get destroyed then we know the problem is the coach. Then they'll need to take the corrective action
