Hey guys, Shox fan here. I've been an admirer of your program for awhile. Three titles and 6 F4s is quite an impressive history, and recently Cronin has you firing on all cylinders.
Just wanted to drop in and reinforce how stoked WSU fans everywhere are about shackin' up with the AAC and playing some quality competition in conference for a change. Looking forward to cheering against you when our teams meet, and cheering for you the rest of the time. Go AAC, Go Shockers, Go Bearcats.
Yeah, the UConn fans seem to be a, well, interesting bunch. I understand the school itself may have been a driving force in getting us in the conference, but the fans seem less than thrilled. Afraid of a little competition, maybe?
I say bring it on. We're getting out of a horrible situation where we were shellacking our conference mates by 20 points every night, winning 30 games, and getting a frickin' 10 seed. The way WSU fans see it, rising tides raise all ships. We hope SMU, Cincy, and others can challenge us, and vice versa, so we're all better and more prepared for deep runs in the tournament.
With that said, what's the scoop on the Bearcats in 2017-2018? Which of your players should I learn to despise when we play you, then will love when you're kicking P5 ass in the NCAAs?

The American Athletic Conference board of directors will vote on Friday to decide if it will admit Wichita State and if yes, will it happen for next season, according to a source with direct knowledge. Wichita State needs 75 percent of the votes for admission. The AAC is expected to add the Shockers and unless there is a hiccup for the 2017-18 season. Another source with direct knowledge said the Shockers want to go for next season and are willing to pass up all of its previous NCAA tournament units from winning games in the tournament to leave before the 24 month deadline to the Missouri Valley Conference without a penalty.
My God. the UCONN forums are a mess.
They must be the most arrogant fans in the world. A couple of mentioned that somehow UCONN is the same conference as WSU as if WSU hasn't been better than them for multuple years running.
This is great for our conference no matter which way you slice it. Uconn needs to get over themselves.
Maybe they should win the AAC regular season title before complaining how bad our conference is. They are far and away the best recruiting team in the league and still cant win a conference title.
Don't follow @NoEscalators then. He/She is hilarious but thinks UCONN is a blue blood up there with Duke/ UK who can not stand the idea of adding a WSU team that will help this conference out immensely.
I go to their forums regularly, (don't post or anything), and this is nothing new. A lot of them put their self in the group with the Dukes and Kentucky. They do have championships. I'll give them that but they aren't the power they once were in the mid 2000s and it's going the wrong way fastMy God. the UCONN forums are a mess.

If they didn't have those championships, it would be really bad. Not like they are destroying everyone in the regular season. But I'd rather have the championships too I guessWell....they have won some recent championships no?
Truth is they are too good for this conference. As are the Bearcats and Wichita State....but its the best of what's available at this time for all 3 of them.

Historically, UCONN wins in March. Because of that, they will be fine and they will never receive my sympathy.
@American_MBB
Coach Cronin has great respect for the newly added Wichita State Shockers

Do the Shockers still play in the "Roundhouse"?
