Sad day when they closed the claw.

I don't blame him. If I could transfer out of the American conference I would too.

We're the only university dumb enough to elevate an in state school, and we've done it twice. Miami will fiercely oppose us.

A sad finish to a great season. Came off the wheels near the end of the regular season and just couldn't get it back on track. Hopefully everyone comes back and we go again next year with more experience.

Ridiculous call.

Not looking good. Unfortunately they just look a bit better than us.

Their 3 point shooting has to regress soon. Can't compete if they're shooting 60% from 3

Those 3 point numbers are ugly. Need that to improve if we have a chance. Especially with them at 50%

Pretty sloppy so far

No one's saying be independent in basketball. You can be independent in football and find a basketball conference. I don't think the big east would consider us for a second, we'd be looking lower for our non football sports, but it'd be worth it. You can win a **** basketball conference and make the tournament. There are plenty of power basketball programs in mid major or lower conferences. The important thing is getting out of the AAC

We go independent and play away to power 4 schools. Filling in the schedule with games against UMass, uconn and new Mexico state. Prefer any of that over watching another game against Charlotte, Birmingham, north Texas, Tulsa etc.

We need to leave now. The AAC is killing our school. We should be on the phone with osu and wsu. A 3 team pac 12 with the two of them is so much better than this **** stain conference weve found ourselves in.

I believe so. But there's definitely NCAAT participation banners.

No one is going to respect or take seriously a conference with so many anchors in it. The committee just sent the 7th place mwc team to the tournament to score 44 points on under 30% shooting, with us having won the AAC regular season not even under consideration. The group of 5 bowl game went to liberty. There's no bridging that gap. Not to mention all the work we've done growing our image as a university outside of athletics down the drain as we group ourselves with fau, Birmingham, Charlotte, North Texas etc. The best thing that could happen to us is the AAC folding, as it would finally force our hand. Uconn and byu did things right when faced with a better option than this and neither regret it.

If someone walked up and started punching me I wouldn't pretend to like it. The Aac is an abomination. We should have left as soon as they invited the 6 clown schools (OK 5, rice is a respectable school) in the last round of expansion. I've made it clear that if it were up to me I'd go independent before playing another aac game. Great for the conference doesn't mean great for us. Ucf, cincy and Houston winning the AAC was great for the conference, how'd that help us? If we can't handle independence we should be begging to join whatever comes of the mwc/pac merger.
