Message: [QUOTE="ImperialOrange, post: 783050, member: 362"] The BE was stronger last year then it's members (current AAC + ACC) are this year. Cuse lost a lot on offense (obviously), Rutgers graduated a lot from last years stingy defense, UConn is just continuing a down ward trajectory, Lville is about the same, Cinci is in a rebuilding cycle, USF graduated a ton of players, etc. The BE, as a whole, mimmicked mid major basketball schools. Most could be competitive every other year and make a serious run every 4 years or so. The teams from last years BE are almost all in the downward segment of their build cycles thus everyone assuming Lville would walk away with it. The wildcard is UCF who has been solid and slowly building similar to the way we thought our program would at this point but UCF wouldve likely competed for the BE crown last year as well had they been in conference.
