Throwing out Houston and Memphis the talent gap in this conference isn't that big. The bottom isn't a train wreck anymore. All road wins are good wins. Hell, Memphis plays below their talent level enough that they are no different than much of the top half of the league.

Yea that’s what unfortunate. A road win against the bottom is now harder than ever and yet the league is still a 1 bid league

It’s a big win with a team built in 30 days on the road. Every win is a big win. We’re building this brick by brick

i wouldn't use the word "talent".. the talent gap between Memphis and the rest is insanely huge ..and with healthy active players, i think houstons talent is probably middle of the pack, not above anyone...

but like you noted Memphis is playing way below its talent, and Houston is playing above its talent level

but i agree with your bigger point, justin said the same thing too ... this is the best the bottom of the aac has ever been, and also the worst the top of the league has been

Speaking of Memphis, what’s the body bag report for this coming week?

It was the worst thing that happened to us because our dumb*** AD had no choice but to give Brown a contract. Of course, he gave all the leverage to Brown in the contract, which was the biggest mistake of all. So now we’re stuck with an assistant coach who is a head coach for at least another 2-3 years and now everything that was built up the last decade will all fade into the sunset.

What a colossal disaster of a program.

I do think its unfortunate that WSU didn't get to do a nation wide coaching search and see who was interested. Brown maybe the right guy long term but Im positive you could have landed less of a gamble

Exactly. It's a disservice to the program to not do a national search in that situation. And now after this disaster, the national search is going to result in a pool of candidates that have less interest in a program that's now gonna be teetering. Just so ******* dumb.

By the way, I like Miller. He's definitely the guy for UC. They play hard. The defensive intensity is textbook and they don't give up. You can tell in a year or two Cincy will be rolling again.

I still think 3 tournament teams from the aac is more likely than 1

I'm failing to see where another at-large bid comes from outside of Houston.

next year will be interesting...

smu is the only team expected to lose a ton and be in a full rebuild...likely tulsa as well depending on what happens with haith

Houston with no other additions (but sasser stays) will be a top 10 team, top 5 depending on what is done with its free ships... memphis should return everyone too but duren but i think a ton will go pro oversees or transfer portal..itll be a complete mystery with memphis

everyone else should improve or stay the same- most players returning, or if they have a big loss, they are returning something of equal value (like ucf losing perry/mahan but getting top 100 4* twins)
but while improved non look like sure fire tourney teams either .... all will need notable additions from the transfer portal

id lean more 1 than 3...

not becuase the path isnt there, but simply because i have no faith in any team..

if smu, memphis, cincy, ucf; if one of them goes like 11-2 the rest of the way its possible (with non those loses being bad).. i just dont trust a single one of those team to do so...half of those teams have lost to tulane

the road is there its just a matter of belief...can anyone hold on being decent long enough

we have 5 teams between 60 and 90 net..with 2 months to get the 45 range and a weakned houston as potential super boost

This is why I think 3 is more likely than 1. Someone is going to emerge and Houston is potentially a big resume booster. . Then there is still the auto bid.

Is there any word on rescheduling the UC @ Houston game? UC really needs to play that game as it’s a nothing-to-lose everything-to-gain game for them.

Sampson ducked that fade.. claimed it was Covid and then turned around and played like 4 days later.

He stole an opportunity from us.

Forgetting that Jankovich is the coach, SMU?

mentioned before... no matching dates...

everyone in the conference has an open date at the end of the year, the date will be used as a makeup date for the highest priority game...and since houston/cincy is the only canceled game as of now, itll be that

the only means to make up the game before that is to move your temple game next week up 2 days..and play houston 3 days later.. the fact there been no movement or annoucement , means its unlikely to happen

And the sweetest part is even if the game is made up, Houston is a shadow of its self. A win by Cincy may be discounted due to all of Houston's injuries. Sorry Cincy, we effectively f#*ked you this year.

LOL

C'mon, wwe were gonna pound Cincy. The question is would it have been by 20 or 30? We know it. They know it.

Cincy may get a win after all at their place with all our injuries, but wouldn't be surprised if its a squeaker at best, or a Cincy loss at worst.

But how much you wanna bet all the Cincy fans are gonna thump their chests if they do win despite our depleted roster? C'mon, someone bet me!
