We are looking forward to once again having another American Conference season fi lled with competitive games.” Jamelle Elliott, Cincinnati

MOORIAH ROWSER intheir words... “Changing conferences was a move we had talked about for six months, but until you’ve actually done it, there’s no way to know what it’s like being on the court with a (former member) Louisville or UConn. I do think that our players were emotionally very, very ready to compete against those teams, but from a talent and depth perspective, we weren’t ready to compete. But now we know, there are no surprises any longer. Now it becomes continuing to build our talent and get our focus right and increasing our depth, but we’re excited about this team coming back and our ability to do that. We didn’t lose a lot of our scoring and rebounding from a year ago. Most of our talent was freshmen and sophomores, so now most of our talent is juniors, sophomores and I think we’ve added a couple of nice pieces in our freshman class and with our junior college transfer.” Melissa McFerrin, Memphis

JAMIE KAPLAN intheir words... “It’s not only a new era, but also a step up. We have to raise our level. We have been very successful in Conference-USA but this is a new challenge for our program. Our kids have had a different kind of focus. It’s probably been a benefi t that we’ve had four seniors that are real excited about a new year and a new conference to challenge.” Lisa Stockton, Tulane
