Jake Think I read somewhere yesterday that UCONN is down to 8 healthy players. Should be a wide open conference race this year. Have us pegged as the favorite.

The 2 main things I look for in the regular season are still very much in play: Win our home games and win the conference. If we do that, well be in good shape.

Correct. Larrier (torn ACL), Gilbert (shoulder surgery) and Diarra (chronic knee) all will redshirt and are out for the season. They are down to just 8 scholarship players. A lot is on the shoulders of Jalen Adams who has been pretty good this season. Unsurprisingly, Rodney Purvis is off to a really poor start to the season.

I like our match up against them. TC seems to play very well against Adams.

Adams is got to be very frustrating for Ollie. Guy is as inconsistent as anyone I have seen in a while.

I tweeted this earlier, but I was surprised today to check out the latest KenPom and see 7 out of 11 AAC teams in the Top 100.

25. UC
44. SMU
65. Houston
76. UCF
79. UConn
84. Temple
88. Memphis
132. Tulsa
160. ECU
232. Tulane
250. USF

The bottom few really hurt, but honestly, there's a lot of opportunities within the conference for quality wins. Especially since we play basically everyone twice, sans Memphis and Tulane (really wish it was USF and Tulane).
 
Top 100 is nice but nothing above 25 and 2 above 65 is not good. Eeeeek! We better take care of business!

UCONN is really hurting that. With their injuries now, I just can't see them getting back to anywhere close to where they should be.

UCONN turns the ball over so much, 7 in that first half. Sloppy basketball. That was ugly.

UConn doing everything they can do to take time off the clock. Pushing every possession intentionally to the last second. Sounds familiar
 
Big win for them and for the AAC. They play Ohio State next, hopefully they get another big win. We need them to keep moving up for our own RPI improvement.

Man, they've got quite an OOC schedule. Would love to see UC with something like that while we're in this conference.
