Short look but hits some key notes....SMU's gotta get that mess cleaned up or the NCAA can strike at any time.

 

[KhalidShockedTheWorld]

It's a critical year for the AAC. SMU has to be good, Cincy has to be good, Memphis has to recover from the Nichols debacle. The AAC needs to put at least 4 teams in the NCAA tournament, UConn, SMU, Cincy and one of Memphis or Temple or Tulsa (all would be nice, but not likely). If this does not happen the AAC will be a sinking ship.

Its not just Frazier academics they are in trouble along with the GOLF team of all things for improper Alumnus activity.

SMU should go down but if NC doesnt get SHUT THE F DOWN then the NCAA wont touch SMU. Really is a joke.

I also think this writer knows literally nothing about these teams. Our league gets the cast off staff who just google crap and write something.

UCONN chemistry is a legit concern because on paper we are a clear favorite and a top 10 team nationally.

 

[KhalidShockedTheWorld]

It's fair to question chemistry, but the team is top 10 in talent. No doubt about it.

ESPN must think SMU is good, because we're winning it all

I went back and checked and UConn actually was getting better presason odds to win the 2013-2014 championship at 33-1:

+1 ....Good idea, I usually stay away ... but I'll continue avoiding that Big East killing....Tobacco Road shill of a company at every turn possible...it didn't have to be like this but the fact that they led the move to take Uconn out of the BC$ and put us in this purgatory as flipper from BC said ESPN “Told US What To Do.... while our Governor gives them tax breaks at everyone in CT's expense, is more than enough reason. So I'm all done with their one sided views of the college sports landscape that they try to sell...I don't even look at that site for a box score, so let me be the first to sign !
