Big East an 8-bid Conference; America 12 (or whatever) would be

[Brad]

what?

 

Best guess.

 

Would it be a win the tournament and get in type of conference, or would there be enough respect that it could garner a number of at large bids?

 

Next year will be, as I understand it to be, the following (for now, 03/14/2013):

 

South Florida
Louisville

Memphis
Temple
Connecticut
Rutgers

UTEP
Cincinnati
Central Florida

Houston
 

Anyone want to speculate on the A12 basketball outlook for next season?

 

Is UConn eligible?  Top contenders would be Louisville (one season only), Memphis, Cincy maybe/Temple maybe????

 

A 2 or 3 bid conference?

 

What are the thoughts?  Just not ready to quit basketball this early!!

UL, Memphis, UConn, and Cincy should be able to get in on there own.  I'm not sure they'd take 5 out of ten.  But the top four has a chance next year.  UConn and Cincy should still be good enough to get in after the rest leave.  So we should have the respect to get 4 next year and 2-3 after that.

Really?

That's my typo, I think it is SMU instead.

[bcgruber]

4 bid league is my guess if L'ville is in

[South_Florida_Flip]

5 or 6 bid league next season; UL, Cincinnati, UConn, Memphis and Temple. I think we're a bubble team and I am not kidding.

I'd say 4 to be on the safe side and I'm not ready to label us a bubble team until I see how the new arrivals play.

[WoolyBully]

Win-n-In.

Plus one.

That's it.

Be thankful you're getting that. 

Where do you want the AXII conference tournament to be played? 

[Brad]

Gilbert, AZ

I can see all 6 of us being worthy, and maybe UCF too,so 7 potentials.

 

Buuuuutttt......

 

No way in hell we get more than 3. Maayyyybbbeeee 4.

 

We're not a power conference anymore, we're a glorified CUSA.

 

What's the most CUSA put in the tourney back in the day? 3? (UL, Cincy, Memphis?)

 

 

Edit: forgot about Depaul and Marquette, but I still doubt they ever put more than 3 in the tourney. Could be wrong.
