Conference Predictions

Memphis is very talented but has to make outside shots and Louisville is thin on the front line but has a lot of talent on their roster and Rick Pitino. Oddly enough JJ gives UC something the other top teams lack. An inside force.

Rutgers will finish ahead of Temple and UCF and battle Houston for that 6th spot I believe.

I think we are really fortunate this season because most of the conference is lacking in size. If the Big East was still together, we might be in trouble, but the AAC is almost strictly a guard-dominated league right now.

Those last 4 games could be huge Louisville @ home, @ UConn, Memphis @ home and @ Rutgers where they have played flat.

The shoe will be rocking when Louisville and Memphis come to town, which will really help, if were still playing like we have been I like our chances in those and in winning the conference
