Looks to be a 3 bid league

[UconnFanDC]

Temple only other team with a real shot outside of current top 3.Temple has some good wins and can slude in if win more

 

[Wise2]

Well they do play us again, so that's a win for them....

 

[Chief00]

I know it probably sounds hopelessly naive - but I would never concede anything until
someone beats us in the AAC tournament. That’s how Chief rolls.

One more thing - I wanted to wish Mama Bunkey a happy birthday this week - I hear you are looking real good. I was hoping to make it down to Baltimore this weekend for the continue celebration but unfortunately I have family obligations.

Second best league other than big12 all 10 teams are tourney quality teams, but beat each other up during conference play. It will be interesting to see how may teams they get in.

AAC is likely at 5 bids without all the major injuries this year.

That SMU/UCF game today with Tacko, Taylor, Dawkins, Shake Milton, Foster, etc, should have had seeding implications.

Temple controls their destiny. It should be an interesting home stretch.

The American would be a very different conference if UConn and Memphis hadn’t both decided to throw up on their shoes.

Winning the AAC tournament would be their longest winning streak since November and would likely include multiple consecutive wins over teams against which they have not been remotely competitive. There's optimism and then there's whatever hoping for that would be.

 

[champs99and04]

Honestly, give me one good reason Temple shouldn't be in the tournament if they're being judged by the same numbers everyone else is.

No arguments - just the way Chief rolls.

ACC (9)

BE (5)

B-12 (6)..possibly 7 with play in

B-10 (4)

PAC (2)..possibly 4 with play ins

SEC (8)

New Lunardi category for UConn: "First four out."

That is a great point when reviewing the "team sheet" criteria being used this year.

Xavier is not in the AAC buddy.

 

[champs99and04]

I'll tell you what Xavier is not a top ten team and I'm not just saying that based on one game. They look like us out there defensively right now.

 

[UCweCONN]

Who do we have to outbid to get in?

I see you roll with Scrappy.

This is all an act, right? You can't be this creepy in real life.

 

[Huskyforlife]

If UConn and Memphis return to form, this should be a 4 bid league at minimum every year.

I'd be surprised if SEC got more then B12.

I'd say 5 bid. Uconn, Memphis, Natti, SMU, Wichita State (Expected reason for addition). UCF always look like they may but can't. Oh and Houston has the makings

I'm not counting on UCF and Houston for yearly success. But the rest of the league can make it a 5, or even 6 bid league, if they take turns having good seasons. Lots of Ifs.

If you don’t have that attitude you shouldn’t be in the game.
