We have beaten Cincy, Temple, Memphis & UCONN in Minges in the AAC era. I like to think Cincy & WSU would go toe to toe most years. Not out of the realm of possibility.

Most years? Maybe. Next year?

We return everyone off of a 30-win team. Our last game, we took Kentucky to the wire. We're expected to be Top 10, if not Top 5.

We aren't losing to ECU next year.

Yeah I doubt it would happen next year. And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying we ROUTINELY beat ANYONE in Minges... lol I'm just saying we are pretty good at playing spoiler, where one of our guys goes off for 35-40 in a WTF game.
Wichita State would immediately be seen as a top 1-2 team in the conference, and would be favorites to win it next year.

THAT SAID...

Y'all will be taking a big step up in competition week in, and week out. The bottom of the MVC was as bad as the bottom of the AAC, but the top half of the AAC is much stronger.

RPI
12 - Cincinnati
13 - SMU
32 - Wichita State
33 - Illinois State
54 - Houston
69 - UCF
119 - UCONN
121 - Memphis
132- Tulsa
135 - Temple
145 - Southern Illinois
162 - Northern Iowa
182 - Loyola Chicago
188 - Evansville
209 - Missouri State
214 - East Carolina
220 - Bradley
233 - Indiana State
298 - Tulane
314 - Drake
316 - USF

Most years UCONN and Memphis are much better than they were this year. So, overall, the AAC is a much better league. WSU may be favorites to win it next year, but it will be more of a struggle than it was in the MVC.

I hope you get the invite!

Anybody over a 200 RPI shouldn't get a share of the NCAA units for that season. Watch how quick schools get their **** together.

Pull the accreditation of all institutions voting no. because . . .



Just my humble opinion, of course.

yes and make teams in the AAC play a respectable schedule. UCF had a sos rank of 101 and the bottom half of the AAC's sos was just pathetic to look at. ur not getting into the tourney if you are playing D2 school in ur ooc schedule

That's why we're making the move. We want the shots at the big dogs. We want the chance to prove we belong.

IF UConn rebounds (i think they will, we brought in a great recruiting assistant head coach and well still have a nasty back-court in Jalen Adams and former 5* recruit Alterique Gilbert who will return from injury this year) and Houston will be solid and UCF should be good, not to mention UC and SMU as well as temple. What would be ur prediction for ur overall W/L record and ur AAC W/L be?

What would be ur prediction for ur overall W/L record and ur AAC W/L be?

I'm in class, and we don't have the 2018 schedule anyway, but I'll cook something up based on what I think I know. Let's say 35 games, every AAC team twice for simplicity, and make an out-of-my-butt guess on who we'll play in the noncon from our prior scheduling habits.

Noncon
Oklahoma
Oklahoma State
Saint Louis
Three 100-150 mid majors
Four 150-250 tune-ups

Maui
3 games. Who knows?

Con - 22
Cincinnati
SMU
Houston
UCF
UCONN
Memphis
Tulsa
Temple
East Carolina
Tulane
USF

Looking at that for a schedule, I think it's reasonable to say we can sweep our noncon. Our marquee teams are either coming off of a poop season or breaking in a new coach, and we've always been able to handle our buy games. That'll put us at 10 wins.

Miami, we will probably be favored, but it'll still probably end up giving us our first loss, probably in the second game. That'll put us at 12-1 going into conference play.

We should have no problems home and away with USF - Tulsa. Tulsa will give us a game, but we're familiar enough with them that we can handle it. 10 wins, for 22-1.

Memphis - Houston, I think we pick up two losses. Away games at UCONN and UCF. That'll put us at 28-3.

SMU, I think we can sweep. It's too early to tell though, but I'll pencil it in. 30-3.

Cincinnati, we will not sweep. And since it's a renewal of an old rivalry, I think they sweep us. 30-5.

So in short, I think we can accomplish what we did last year. The year after next, we will come back to the field a bit, since we lose a LOT of seniors. But this year, 30 wins could happen. Depends on who we get in Maui and the noncon. More heavy hitters in the noncon could add a few losses.

Let's see what the draft does. Dallas isn't much of a trip for us, and if the away game falls later in the schedule, we'll be adjusted to bigger arenas in the con schedule. If it's early, yeah, we likely lose. But later in the season? We can do it.
