"At the moment" you must mean right this minute? Over the years the AAC has only been ranked a couple of spots ahead of the A-10 and we've roughly sent the same number of teams to the tournament most years. One school, Houston, has been a monster in recent years, but overall the AAC has not been "much stronger" than the A-10 from what I can tell.
That's because Kentucky basketball was one snobbish bunch back then. No one else was good enough to do anything but smell their rear ends. Yes, when I lived in Kentucky, my experience of Kentucky fans was not good. Louisville fans and Western Kentucky fans, on the other hand, I liked a lot.
arent we playing virginia too?
The resume's starting to look better. Unfortunately Jacksonville lost badly to Liberty last night and they fell further away from that 161 mark we need them to be at for the Q4 loss to go away. VCU is now the only team in the A10 with more than one Q1 win.
You're right. It doesn't matter, but man, 28 years is a long time to hold a grudge in college basketball if your names are Virginia Tech and VCU.
I'd love that or even a neutral court game against them from time-to-time.
I'm very much wishing right now that we'd pulled them into the A10 and not Loyola Chicago.
Charleston is really good. I'm not sure how much longer Pat Kelsey will stay there, though, he is likely going to get some P5 interest as he's an excellent coach and a very likable person (unless you're a UMass fan) - I've seen his name mentioned for the Notre Dame job.
That's the rumor but it hasn't been confirmed.
