It is also interesting if you look at the future Sun Belt teams. So glad we are going AAC

If you’re going to look realistically at that AAC list, then need to remove Houston, Cincy, and UCF.
Even without those three, AAC is the better place for us in BB

Have to be some big changes if we are going to be competitive in AAC

Niagra??
MAAC member Niagara University is a small Catholic college in western New York who’s been to the Big Dance more recently than we have. Most famous sports alum is Naismith Hall of Famer Calvin Murphy, whose entire NBA career - as a player, coach, and currently as a member of the franchise’s TV broadcast team - has been spent with the Rockets.
Doesn’t that hardly exclude anyone? Swear I saw that like 260 programs have been to the NCAA tournament since we last went.
It’s perhaps the most depressing stat about 49er basketball.

Knew we had played a Niagara sports team recently:
And we look like we are nowhere near breaking that streak anytime in the near future.
“Learning” how to ride this thing out as long as possible and “Growing” his personal net wealth. That’s the only real progress that’s been made.

Arkansas (17-5, 6-3 SEC) has really turned things around after the slow start in conference play. Creeping back toward a top 50 NET and into the NCAAT conversation.
In addition to the Razorbacks, other Niner opponents showing up in the various bracketlogy projections include App State, Davidson, North Texas, Toledo, and Wake.

Going out on a limb and projecting from here that 10 conf wins regular season and 1 conf trnm win should be doable. Where that puts the Niners I don’t know, but that seems like a reasonable expectation - we have the talent.
Purple Eagles (11-11, 6-7 MAAC; NET #203) just handed Iona (19-4, 11-1 MAAC; NET #57) its first conference loss of the season, 80-71.
Gaels may want to rethink that “lifetime contract” extension for Pitino
