UNT to AAC?

[RiseUNT]

I know we are blowing this up in the football forum but I think this will be a way better basketball conference than football conference. Memphis and SMU alone is great.

YES to this thread.  Was just pondering the thought of AAC basketball.

Would love more talk about this.

Also, would love initial thoughts from @CMJ

MWC basketball is better, especially if they’re talking about adding Gonzaga as a b-ball only member!

Just hang on…

I won’t lie, the thought of the first time we visit Moody (with a crowd that is 60% green) is an appealing thought.

Ehhhhh maybe. Memphis, Wichita State, USF and adding us and UAB would be a dang good basketball conference. Memphis alone is better than the MWC

As much as I would love to see UNT in the MWC, playing in the AAC would be very fun to watch, and probably get fans in seats.

Why would Gonzaga go to MWC?

That’s the scuttlebut out there.  They could join into a stronger conference & up their brand a little more, like Wichita St. joining AAC.

Few wont be there forever!

Anybody have an idea when this is supposed to happen?

We are talking like it is going to be next week, it could be years.

Better than Memphis?  Wichita State?  Temple?  

[outoftown]

Definitely an imporvement on BBall front.

[CMJ]

The AAC would be amazing from a basketball point of view.  Better than the MWC most years.

Hoping this all happens quickly enough for this before the next round of musical chairs.

My guess is 2023.

Obviously, Memphis right now is pretty darn good.    Not sure how long they'll be in the AAC.

SDSU is usually ranked (in 2020, they ended the year #6).    Utah State is VERY VERY Good.   Nevada is too.
COSt is coming up, and when UNM has a decent coach, they're really good too.

Either way, UNT B-ball is gonna be challenged big time.   Looking forward to it!

Mc has to be jacked. Can only imagine WIchita State, Temple and Memphis in the pit!!! I will be going on some road trips! GMG

Where else would Memphis go? Looks like they missed the boat on the Big 12. ACC maybe if SEC gets Clemson and Florida State?

I’m just really happy this is happening now, with Mac at the helm and not a few years ago with Benford.  Mac is going to play the top teams close, and maybe pull some upsets.  That’s just going to continue to make our basketball brand look better, and speed up how quickly we get better and better.
