Now lets look how other top AAC faired when it came to how many 300+ games they booked:
UCONN: 1 SMU: 3 WSU: 1 Houston: 3 UCF: 3 Xavier: 1 Guys, its a big deal. |

And it looks like 2 of the 5 we have could easily get back into the 200s. The 300+ years seemed like outliers based on your numbers. Let things play out. We'll be fine. If we go 29-5 (heading into NCAAs) and get a bad seed, it's going to be bc the AAC sucked again. |

You need easy teams to be to get your record looking decent can't end up with 10 losses Mick doesn't want 10 losses at the end of the year and 18 that is tired come conference time got a mix-and-match a little bit easy and hard. Have to keep that tournament Streak going |

Yeah I mean the committee has never even used KenPom. I think I remember hearing that this year they will. But I don't see them going from not using it, to digging into so deeply that KenPom non-con SOS becomes their favorite tool.

Like I’m a diehard UC fan and am only harping on the schedule bc I know the impact. And I don’t want to give the committee any fuel.
There is a huge difference between playing the 150th ranked team and 342nd ranked team. I’m willing to put my money where my mouth is if any one really thinks playing 5 300+ teams is a good thing. Even if you use RPI as your measureing stick, these teams are still really bad. Add in that, I’m disappointed than just one decent school is playing in front of home court fans in the non league schedule. I won’t bring it up again, until March. But if we win 30 games, even in a better conference, Wil still get a 6 seed bc of 1/3 of our wins are against whack ass teams |

Again, IM NOT COMPLAINING about our high tier Games. I’d just like to see Marshall again on the schedule, or An A10 school. And then some of the good buy games; Lehigh, South Dakota state, Kent state etc |

I'm sure cronin would rather not play 300+ teams. There is nothing in it for the team. Would probably get more out of a good practice then playing an awful team. I'm guessing its a money thing.
