I'm sure in 2012 you said the same thing when USF went 19-12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reality bites. According to the committee, we hardly even qualify as a mid-major anymore. Our lower 5 really dragged down the SOS and quality wins of the upper 5. So much so that UofL only got a 4-seed. It's not enough to have good teams at the top, you need good teams at the bottom to challenge those top teams. But, more than anything else, you need "perception" - and that mainly comes from quality OOC wins. I hope our new coach brings us a bunch of 'em, and quickly.

More so UConn, Memphis, (which could beat a number 1 seed) and Cincy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, 3/4 AAC teams are in the East Region so there's not a whole lot of room for all the teams to shine, but I think all 4 have a legit shot at getting to the sweet 16.

I picked Zona, UF, Cincy, and Louisville in my Final 4. With Zona and UF in the Natl Title game. As much as I hate to admit it I have UF winning it all.

I'd put us up against any league but the ACC and the Big 10... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a good thread around here somewhere about us being not only a major conference but also a power conference (in basketball). Dashed.
