But disappointing is not the right term. I mean, it’s disappointing that UC is the only team to represent the league in the tourney every year when no one has. And even more impressive that only one of those appearances were autobids.
Not a single team has been more consistent in both tourney births, & regular season wins.
If it weren’t for UC, we’d be even less respected as a conference.

I'm gonna * this with Wichita has been in the tourney every year since the AAC was formed and only 2 have been auto bids. So 2 teams (that are currently AAC members) have been in the tourney every year since the AAC formed.
Either way .. I'd much rather make it every year and have a few flame outs than not consistently make it. So good for UC
I respect WSU but I just don’t count them bc they just joined the league. I also could see a scenario where WSU is an NIT team next season

I think there is a scenario for just about every team to be an NIT team next year. (except USF .. they aren't making it) Lots of question marks for the league. But it's gonna be fun.
Most accurate evaluation of the conference for next year I have seen. I was inspired and think we should bookend it with a just as accurate:
I think there is a scenario for just about every team to be in the NCAA next year (except ECU & USF.....they aren't making it)
Tulane might need to be added to the bookend except but otherwise ......
Agreed. I could easily see 12-6 or 13-5 winning the regular season.
I'll take a National Championship and 3 missed NCAA tourneys over 5 straight trips to the tourney without a Sweet 16.
To each their own tho.

In reflection sure. It’s easy to say that. But when I checked sites like the boneyard in that 3 year slump, I’m pretty glad I’ve not had to feel that way as a fan.
Being god awful with no end in sight seems to feel much worse than winning it all.

Not sure if serious. UCONN just made a great hire, have the most money to throw around in the AAC, and arguably the strongest CBB pedigree.
Silly.
Oral Roberts just announced they are playing at SMU so ORU will be playing, SMU, Tulsa and WSU

Oral Roberts School of Dentistry to the AAC.

ORU... kinda like Liberty, but worse in all regards.

I’m not talking about now. I’m talking In that 3 year period where UConn was losing and Ollie’s 10 million buy out made it seem like losing was the new UConn thing.
Obviously they found ( or at least trying ) a way to get past that buy out. But UConn fans were miserable for a good stretch of the last few years.

Seems like some junk zones and the shrunken 3 point line could give the team some fits. I expect them to have a really good pick and roll offense, but much like the Houston Rockets they can live by the three and die by the three. And the NCAA doesn't play 7 game series. Memphis might do well in the regular season only to bow out early in postseason play against really good defensive teams. The offense they're installing actually sounds like what Sampson installed early in his tenure. It can work at times, but it won't ALWAYS work.

The Tigers will play OK St at the AdvoCare Invitational in Orlando on 11/22/18 (Thanksgiving). The winner will very likely play Villanova.
