    OllieThe American Athletic Conference announced the 2014-15 men’s basketball conference pairings. The 2015 men’s basketball championship will be played March 12-15, 2015, (Thursday-Sunday) at the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut as previously announced.

    With the addition of East Carolina University, Tulane University and the University of Tulsa in 2014, The American’s membership increases to 11 with its basketball teams continuing to play an 18-game conference schedule. Each team will play eight of its 10 opponents twice, and the other two opponents once each – one at home and one away. The complete 2014-15 conference schedule with dates and times will be announced at a later date.  

    Additionally, member schools are putting together strong nonconference schedules, with games scheduled against 23 opponents that played in last year’s NCAA Tournament, including Duke, Michigan, North Carolina, Florida (twice), Kansas, Gonzaga (twice), Nebraska, North Carolina State (twice), Wichita State (twice), Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Saint Joseph’s, San Diego State, Stanford, Texas, Villanova, VCU, Creighton and Xavier.
