Just a pet peeve of mine. I know the AAC is not a great conference but it's where UConn is right now, so all the teams need our support. Two of the top teams (outside of UConn) played in their AAC openers Sunday against each other. Eastern Carolina visited South Florida and while it wasn't a picture of great basketball, it is really no different than 90% of the games that are played in WCBB. "Bad passing, out-of-control drives, horrible body language and poor fundamentals." was how one UConn fan described the game.

I'd remind UConn fans that these teams are UConn's conference mates, good or bad and they need our support.

The AAC is not alone in bad basketball. Check out a few beauties.......

#14 Georgia losing to Seton Hall Box Score A combined 32 TO's and around 25% shooting on 3's.

#20 Michigan State losing to unranked Northwesten Box Score Lousy shooting percentages in this one. A combined 33 TO's.

9-3 Virginia lost to 4-8 Davidson. I'm sure this was a great game to watch.

Three different conferences in the ACC, SEC and Big Ten. Three crappy games filled with "Bad passing, out-of-control drives, horrible body language and poor fundamentals."

It's much more enjoyable to make fun of teams outside the conference and better for UConn.

#8 Tennessee defeated #10 Oregon Sunday. Isabelle Harrison is a terrific player and there is no doubt Tennessee would be in big trouble without her. 20 points 12 rebounds and 5 assists.

Great defense, lousy offense for Tennessee as usual. The Lady Vols had a sparkling 7 assists. They were 0-3 on three pointers and are now under 30% as a team for the season. If they want to make the final four this year, they need to play better offensively or it will be another disappointing season for Tennessee.
