Things are beginning to get interesting in the American Athletic Conference.
After dropping as far as eighth in the power rankings with a 7-10 record, the UConn Huskies have gone 7-2 in their past nine games with nail-biting wins over UCF, Memphis and Temple. Their 9-5 conference record could very well put them in position to make a major run at the NCAA tournament, when they essentially host the AAC tournament at the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut. That very well could be the only way the American gets three teams into the dance this year.
