Just like in football where the newbies were out of our league and learn from the leftovers of how to play against the big boys.

Are you suggesting that the two teams who were in the Big East for the past decade haven't figured out how to play the big boys?

No I was saying you guys were going to teach the newbies how to play big boy football and basketball. Lol I guess we will see.

Seeing as how that was what was said to us when we came in I doubt many Cards fans went that route. Also this year not many expected to see the regression that has happened.. These are not the normal teams that UConn, and USF have been the last 5 years.
We are not going to be around too long so I don't see us Cards teaching much we are going to be favored to win and play to win we will see what happens on the field and court. But I like our chances.

We'll see but I do believe that Memphis has a decent record against Big East teams the last ten years. Granted, Louisville is favored this last year in the AAC --- but, post-Huggins, I don't see Cincinnati being consistently better than Memphis. And UConn is a question after Calhoun's departure. I certainly think Memphis has a chance to be the premier team in this league --- and do no worse than be a contender year in and out IMO.
