I was thinking about this a few weeks ago

Kevin Ollie went from being seriously courted by the Lakers and a scorching hot name in the coaching ranks to likely fired at the end of this season...

Slow ya roll, Breh. Of all the teams you named, syracuse is the only umder ncaa sanctions and still made a final four in the mist of them. Next year's recruiting class is much better than years past because those sanctions will be lifted.

Syracuse is not on it's way. The ACC invitation ensued at the same time the sanctions hit. Syracuse has a McDonald's All American and a top 30 player incoming next season. They'll be fine.
UConn's problem is that they bet it all on football and lost. The AAC is a Frankenstein league that doesn't appeal to recruits on the East Coast; UConn's base. Add to that the problem that Ollie isn't a good coach or recruiter and you have what UConn is now. They're holding out hope that the B1G invites them because it's not happening with the ACC. They can't drop football to FCS because all hell would break loose considering how much state money was spent to upgrade the stadium so they were FBS ready.
Man I thought Ollie had players lined up after he won the 'shipThis trash Memphis team with joke Tubby Smith as the head coach just blown out UCONN.
Breh is about to go from winning a national championship to getting fired.
Was just canned

Can't believe uconn has fallen off that bad. Every NBA team wanted Kevin Ollie a couple of years ago so he'll be alright.

UConn went 10-4 vs ranked teams in their title season of 2013-14. UConn is just 2-21 against ranked teams since then (and both of those wins were against SMU)
had to be done. you cant have 4 modern chips and have this drastic of a fall

I can't believe they fell off like that. They need to hit a home run hire to make up for these last few year, college basketball is not the same without UCONN

I know it’s not the big east but Cincinnati seems to have transitioned to the AAC just fine. UCONN and Memphis get their stuff together (odds are they will) then the AAC can be a good basketball conference.

That’s a solid lineup that should get 4-6 bids every year. I could throw UCF in there low key too because they should have a tournament level squad if they stay healthy. Now that Ollie is gone all eyes will be on Memphis with these Penny Hardaway rumors
