The American Athletic Conference has announced that the women’s basketball conference game featuring SMU at Wichita State on Dec. 23 at 1 p.m. (ET)/12 p.m. (CT) on ESPN+ been postponed due to COVID-19 related issues within the Wichita State program.

Just declare Wichita State the winner. SMU women are going for a perfect season. Whatever it takes to get rid of that clown!

Houston, UCF, and USF look like tourney teams. Couple others have the sort of schedule that might get them consideration if they win the right ones and don't lose the wrong ones. I'd say half the league looks post season capable in a normal year (the women's NIT is huge). Bad year to be down, no UConn means everyone is bringing their A game every week because someone else is going to win the conference. Houston seems to finally be performing up to expectations after a bit of a plateau, Cincy appears a lil down from last year. Tulsa two games in looks like they might be pretty good and the Florida schools look good as always lately. Fun conference right now, hope they can bring it through the whole crazy season and get to make some noise in March.

Still think the guys get more bids, maybe not more post season teams though. Next year could be a really big one as WSU and Cincy will be through there rebuilds with three or four years since coaching changes. Tulane is relatively young and has had some success in the past looking decent this year. Plus the current top 3 should stay relatively stable performers.

Talking about women’s basketball

Is that even allowed here?

I should report myself for bringing it up.

Not really news but a good article about Isaiah Adams and his family overcoming homelessness

Of course. Do you have any clue the shape Memphis was in with its donors and fan base after Tubby's 2 years? FedExForum was empty, and donations were at historic lows.

Penny sure as hell rejuvenated Memphis basketball from basically its death bed, and started recruiting a lot of talent.

Now he needs to figure out how to coach it, but he sure as hell rejuvenated the program from where it was, and where it was further heading.

He had a 3 year contract, to start. Now is sure as hell not the time to fire him. But he needs to get it done on this extension.

As we were recently reminded on a certain streaming show “talent without training is nothing.” I hope Memphis is successful but I don’t think Penny can coach at this level. Penny may have increased donations and ticket sales, but will those still be there in a year or two if he doesn’t start competing at a higher level?

Pretty good writeup, but I believe that Murphy's final shot was blocked by D.J. Jeffries, not Cisse.

almost every team goes through a funk. houston's started with ucf and hopefully lasted through the half of the smu game. i hope lessons were learned as i would like no more of it going forward.
