This is the point I'd like to emphasize. Syracuse is not equal to UConn. That's ultimately the way I see it and that's really the only point I was trying to make. Is Syracuse still a top ten program? Nobody cares, this is about how they compare to UConn, and it ain't pretty.

and that is where you are simply a troll and why I will call you out on that when you say "just stating my opinion."

don't say "just calling it like i see it" when you clearly are using indisputably wrong talking points and doing it on purpose to piss off a fanbase that you piss off on a consistent basis that is not "calling it like i see it"

Fans can look forward to two mega-matchups in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge on Dec. 5, with Texas traveling to face Kentucky and Florida on the road at Kansas.

The pairings were announced Wednesday afternoon. The 2014 SEC/Big 12 Challenge will air on the ESPN family of networks from Dec. 3 to Dec. 6.

AAC is out of options for a BB conference vs conference series. (i doubt the pac has an interest)

How would we be out of options?

Do tell...

there are a lot of conferences that could be possibilities.

This has interest.

Only in FB ... in BBall its in the WCC (along with any other Olympic sports it plays that are sponsored by the WCC).

Though that still would be an obstacle to it participating in an MWC challenge. (!)

Heck, if the schedule makers do their work, a CUSA deal could be pretty decent.

i don't think that is what the AAC is shooting at though. the BE got a challenge with a p5 conference and the AAC gets the cusa or mwc?????

that is not a win for them.

I wish we were on FS1

When Syracuse and UConn were in the same football conference, who won more? I saw that Earnie Davis movie like everybody else

I don't think there is any DIII program that has accomplished what Houston has accomplished so by all means compare them. Nothing you say will make Syracuse better than UConn. Sorry, it's just the facts.

100% agree... UConn is 10 times a lot better.

apparently stupidity is a UH thing.

they have 5 FFs each. cuse has been to the championship game 3x to uconns 4. cuse has 2 helms championships. cuse is 5, 5, 7, in all time wins, win %, & tourny bids, uconn is 27, 16, & 11 in those categories.

no one is saying cuse > or equal to uconn. however anyone saying cuse/uconn is tech vs texas or uconn is 10x better than cuse is absolutely clueless about the sport of basketball.

everyone knows that if you start the tourny over again you would get different results. you guys are quite pathetic with this argument.

I think this is the whole point he is trying to make: SU is in a "P5" conference and you are not. Everyone else that is not is less. Regardless of how many national championships you have won, you can only be "about as good" as the mighty P5. Like the P5 are all created equal. Funny stuff.

I also think he hates the AAC because a team that is in it (a conference his team left) won the NC. That seriously upsets the apple cart. The football BCS win by UCF started the unrest.

They just buy into the "we are better because we are P5" bull crap. The AAC will be fine without a "challenge" that means nothing in March. Thanks for the concern. This kind of thing makes for a fun read on a message board.

anyone who thinks playing the b10 in bb vs cusa/mwc is not a major difference needs a serious reevaluation of wether or not they should be a csnbbs message board poster.

Fun B1G images! See this above...The AAC will be fine without a "challenge" that means nothing in March.

I do not care what conference it is. I saw somewhere that most of the challenges just have a few teams that represent the conferences that rotate. It is not like it is a head on head challenge. So what. Not worried.

this type of behavior reminds me of b12 fans swearing they will be fine without a ccg.

when your conference lack the resources to do what all the other major conferences are doing ==> spin it off as unnecessary/not important.

Oh, now, don't be that way ...

... for instance, the six best American schools could be featured in an A10 challenge, and the five worst in a CUSA challenge.

Speaking as a college sports fan, I only care about football. Even that is waning. I don't dislike BB, but I have a difficult time getting into it. Speaking as a "P5 fan", I could care less if the ACC played the AAC in a Bb challenge. FB is a different matter. I would have interest in playing one AAC school consistently (Navy). The others are of no interest to me because they weren't traditional rivals of Pitt. BB, OTOH, who cares. It's the game of interest to the smaller schools. Why screw it up by making it a clone of the FB side of college sports.

You left out Cincy tool and all three generate more interest than Rutgers.

Sorry Cincy is boring, they dont move the needle for other fanbases other than Xavier.

Very shortsighted statement IMO, that's assuming things will remain static, which they do not because the one constant we all can count on is change UConn, Memphis today some other unforeseen rising hot team of tomorrow.

My favorite part about this thread, outside of Johnny boy's complete meltdown, is that everyone ignored fact the Pac12 is not involved in one and could still be scheduled if there was really an interest in one of these challenges. That possibility alone means "Checkmate" actually isn't checkmate.

...sorry but I'm just calling it like I see it.
