4 AAC Teams

UConn 8 seed playing Seton Hall in OKC

Temple 11 seed playing Notre Dame in Providence

Cincinnati 11 seed play in game (Vanderbilt), would play Baylor in St Louis if they win

Tulsa 12 seed play in game (Butler), would play TAMU in Denver if they win

 

[UConnStats]

Playing Seton Hall would be fantastic

 

[Captbluefin]

Sign up for that right now...

 

[mike012]

if comes true SMU would have made 5......

Playing Oklahoma in OKC? No thanks. I would rather be the 10 seed playing South Carolina and facing Miami in Brooklyn in Round 2

 

[MexicoHusky]

Solid representation. Tough to complain about that.

With 2 teams in play in spots I would assume that adding SMU would actually knock out Tulsa or move them to the edge.

Agreed, let's play ourselves into the 7 line or just end up in the 10 line with the committee underrating us. Either way I would like to see us steer clear of the current 1 seeds (minus Nova obviously) due to their homecourt advantages

 

[OkaForPrez]

This bracket would cause me real problems with @Deepster.

probably not. I still doubt the AAC gets 4.

 

[HooperScooper]

Jerry Palm's bracket today also has UConn as an 8 seed playing Seton Hall.

Agree. The 8/9 seed line is one of the worst draws you can get. I keep saying that I would like it if they played themselves to a 6 seed. At this point, I think thats what our ceiling is. The 6 seed plays the 11 in round one, then gets the winner of the 3/14 game. In a season like this, I really think there is a big drop from the 1-2 seed line and once you get beyond the 2 seeds, anybody can beat anybody.

Foxsports.com has UConn as a 7 seed.

[Paesano]

Best case, realistic scenario, is that we go 2-1 in the last three games and win the AAC tournament, avenging the losses to Cinci and Temple. Given our recent struggles against Cinci and Temple, I don't think it will happen but I do think we have a better team. They just need to play, or be coached, to their potential. Now is the time. And, if that is what happens, the rest of the field will start getting nervous. No one will want us in their bracket.

Sign me up for this. The best part is Duke and UNC aren't in Raleigh. It's ridiculous that North Carolina has a tournament site every year whether it's Charlotte, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Chapel Hill, or Raleigh.

You noticed that about NC, huh? But people here still insist there isn't bias throughout the NCAA or the media, which drives the $$$$.

No, best case is that they win out. Let's not forget that SMU has now lost several games and has nothing to play for. The Huskies absolutely should win by double figures against Houston and UCF at home, and there is nobody in the American tournament we can't beat. Very hard to beat a team three times, and Temple and Cinci aren't all that.

SMU has the conference title to play for and they're not about to just lay down and roll over when UConn comes into town. Not sure how people are playing that card when they say how hard the 2012-2013 team played when they were whole despite the ban.

 

[methodology]

It's also SMU senior night. That place is going to be electric Nic moore and Marcus Kennedy last home game

Going to be a very difficult game

 

[OkaForPrez]

@HuskyHawk I'll gladly take a plain old W against Houston.

 

[HuskyHawk]

@HuskyHawk I'll gladly take a plain old W against Houston.

Me too. But they should win without causing heart attacks.

 

[OkaForPrez]

I don't think that's fair to say. Houston won @temple, they beat SMU and Tulsa on their floor. They are absolutely capable of pushing us. UConn should win, but it shouldn't be easy.

4 AAC Teams

UConn 8 seed playing Seton Hall in OKC

Temple 11 seed playing Notre Dame in Providence

Cincinnati 11 seed play in game (Vanderbilt), would play Baylor in St Louis if they win

Tulsa 12 seed play in game (Butler), would play TAMU in Denver if they win

4 teams from the AAC? I just wet myself.
