20 wins not enough?

AAC will likely be a 4 bid conference, I think 3 is a lock. Don't see us winning out nothing makes me think the team can win 6 in a row including SMU twice.

If it were a 64 team tourney still it would be in play. Wouldn't happen but it would have been possible.

Not that Lunardi is the end all, but Cinci and Temple would be his last two in at 64 teams.
 
Also interesting about Lunardi's bracket. The Non Power 5 + BE get a total of 5 at larges. The only one that isn't in the bottom 8 at larges in his bracket is WSU/UNI.
 
SMU is a lock. If Cincy, Temple, or Tulsa make it to the AAC Championship game but lose, it would get them an at-large. A loss in the Quarterfinals or Semi Final round would likely result in being left out of the NCAA tourney.

I predict 3 teams in for AAC: SMU, Tulsa, and UConn (auto).

The 4/5 game loser in the AAC will not get an at-large bid.
 
If we win out in the regular season and make it to the conference championship I think we are definitely in. I read somewhere this would put our RPI in the mid 30s. 8-2 in the final 10 regular season games and 21-22 wins should be more than enough for the defending champions to make it back into the tourney. Plus most knowledgable people know we have a new/young team who have gotten better as the season progressed. Add in the fact we had a couple buzzer beater losses as well. Now the mission is to win out and win a few games in the tourney. It's game time boys.

The Big East has all but locked up 5 at large bids by itself. Who does lunardi leave out?

On his website, he has the Big East with 6:

Villanova
Georgetown
Butler
Providence
St. John's
Xavier
 
I could see a scenario in which the AAC only gets one team in. Memphis beating Tulsa here would be a start to that.
 
An RPI ranking of 40 is a pretty safe bid unless something is weird about the rest of a school's resume.
