They’re a power conference. Start showing respect or the power gods will strike you down!!! (I don’t know what that means. You infer as you see fit.)

OU managed to take Rhode Island to overtime before losing as expected. What a joke they were even in this tournament.

1-8 in bowl games

0-3 in the dance.

Worst conference year in the two big sports by a major conference ever ?

In spite of how bad the PAC12 was this year, I would still like a PAC12/AAC basketball matchup like the other conferences are doing.

Pac 10 was bad this year... reallly bad.

Buffalo reminds me of Tulsa '94.
That is a really good comparison actually. Undersized and Arizona tried to exploit it by forcing the ball into Ayton everytime and Buffalo bracketed him. Buffalo sure can shoot.

Gonna laugh when the AAC gets 3 teams to the Sweet 16 (then cry realizing as the 4th place team we're a lot better than a lot of the slugs that made it-Syracuse, Arizona State, OU).

Syracuse is attempting to make you eat that sentence!

Syracuse is really making it hard on you.

Boeheim zone responsible for subpar Syracuse team advancing to Sweet Sixteen? ;0)

It's like they only turn it up for the tourney. I remember the same thing happened a couple years ago. They barely got in, but then they made it to the final four. I believe that was the same year we got the surprising at large also

That's what some Wichita St fans claim. Coach Marshall says they do better at tourney time. He says they are harder to prepare for in a day or two. Not this year. But Boeheim's zone probably follows the same logic as that claim by Marshall. They probably only have to turn it up a half a notch and then take advantage of that zone.

Statistically I think Syracuse has “overachieved” more often than any other NCAA tournament team in the past 25 year’s. Comes down to one word. the ZONE. Not like anybody’s else’s zone.
