SMU and Tulsa are tied for first in the AAC conference standings at 1-0, along with Houston, Wichita St, and Memphis.

Ucon looked scared of physical play. Good luck in your new conference...

Way to go WSU!

The biggest surprise being me finding out that The Big Show not only attended Wichita State... but he was also on the basketball team!

Shockers! Why isn’t this man front and center in everything you do? He’s a living legend!

It is a shame that USF lost Alexis Yetna they day before the season was supposed to start, else this Bulls team could easily be 12-4 with Top 25 wins against FSU and Utah State.

If USF could just take care of the basketball better and improve their FT shooting as they progress through the season, this can easily be a better than 0.500 conference team....which would be testament to the character on this team and Brian Gregory's abilities as a coach.

Then again, it was only UCONN...

And SMU!

I confess, I gave up on them after they were down by double digits late in the 2nd half. My bad.....

SMU is far better than I realized. I saw the comeback against Vanderbilt. The loss stung for this Commodore fan but the Mustangs earned the win. Full props.

GA Tech pummeled favorite UNC at Chapel Hill, 96-83. The Tarheels are shockingly bad.

UCONN chicken coach refused to do a press conf to the media after yesterday's blowout loss.

All I want for Christmas is for Tulane to beat Uconn in basketball this year.

Didn't see that earlier. I was GOH at a con yesterday and didn't even know the Tigers had lost until I checked my phone in the middle of a panel. So at least two of our schools represented yesterday. Way to go!

Nah. The Big East MBB teams need some easy wins in conference too.

I have a feeling the move to the NBE is gonna cement UConn's standing perennially into the basement. That whole athletic department is the biggest **** show ever.

2 long-haul coaches have saved their athletics for several decades.

No problem, done deal... Green Wave by 9 on Wed 1/8

Haven't looked at 3/8 game yet

I don't know if anyone is "upsetting" us this year. We've pretty much had our heads up our @$$es all season.

So in December, you criticized everybody from "projecting".

But by January 5th, you're now throwing in the towel?

What do you want me to say? We just lost to Tulane.

What is it with Tulane making people give up this year?
