Last year at this time, you were shouting pretty much the exact same line. And what happened in this past year? They got 60% of their teams in te tournament (6/10) and we got 18% of ours in (2/11) They won 5 tournament games, we won 1.

Dude, I've never seen anyone in my life with as severe a case of "little man complex" as you. This need to put down every other league, CUSA MWC and ACC in football, BE and A10 in basketball, is a sad spectacle. Who the hell cares. Whether the BE got all ten teams in this year or didn't get any in makes no difference to me. My team had a disappointing year and how other leagues fared doesn't change that one bit. But everything about you just screams G5 at the top of your lungs. Like you somehow think you lift us up by the constant put downs of everyone else. In fact, when you refer to the BE as religious schools no one cares about, you indirectly insult some of our own members. Our basketball champion SMU stands for Southern METHODIST University. Tulsa has an affiliation with the Presbyterian Church. You just don't get it.

I can't tell you how depressing it is to read virtually every one of your posts. I've tried to come to terms with the fact this may be our home for awhile, and want to make the best of it. But you make it so hard. You enthusaiatically do cart wheels over the most trivial and insignificant accomplishment by any conference member, while berating everyone else, even when they do well. It's embarrassing. No one makes us look more small time than you, with this obvious inferiority complex you have. As far as the AAC goes, all of us need to step up. UCONN will definitely bounce back from an off year in basketball, and in football we need to get it together and get things moving the right way again. But respect will come when we earn it on the field, not by the pathetic need to put everyone else down at every turn. the way you do. Lose the G5 mentality and stop acting like you have such an inferiority complex. You're making us all look bad.

The problem is that all of the aforementioned groups come on our boards and talk trash. What I dislike is when we slam eachother

Conference affiliation in college basketball doesn't matter nearly as much as it does in college football. There are 12 conferences in my view that are above the mid-major line because they earn NCAA and NIT at-large bids and always have a chance at winning tournament games. You take the power five and add in the Big East, American, A-10, Mountain West, WCC and C-USA. We could argue about C-USA but they did earn a few NIT bids and UAB won a first round game.

I'd put the Missouri Valley way ahead of C-USA. Actually there are a lot of leagues I would -- probably the MAC too, in terms of depth.

I wouldn't say the MWC is a twin to you guys. I think you guys are very much ahead of the MWC quite frankly. Despite what happened this season. Let's just say this- MWC has as bad of a year as you guys did this year- they would never have had 2 in the tourney and 3 top 4 NIT seeds.

I think there's really 11- take out C-USA. They this year had best year in ages, and their champ was 14 seed, with ODU one of the 1st 4 out. Huge difference.

I should hope so. 03-lmfao03-lmfao03-lmfao

UConn and Memphis will be fine (check their recruiting classes).. As will the programs who moved up. Some people make way too much out of a year that was well-known to be a transition year for programs that aren't accustomed to the national exposure of the AAC. The fact that Tulsa and Temple stepped up like they did speaks well for the rest of the conference.

Very satisfied with AAC recruiting.

I would put Missouri valley ahead of cusa too. There are 9 or 10"major" conferences in hoops. P5 conferences, AAC, MWC, A10, BE and Missouri valley would be 10.

Yep. Maybe add WCC and you have 11(they've gotten multiple NCAA spots the last 4 years since BYU joined the conference). All the at large bids came from those 11 conferences- and last 3 years- only the Sun Belt in 2013 with Middle Tennessee got an at large bid outside those 11 conferences.
